Resilience | original drawing

drawing on paper
Contemporary / Neo-expressionist
9 1/2 X 12 inch

I created this piece from the emotions that come with struggle and uncertainty. For me, the skeletal smile is a reminder that life is fragile, while the eyes represent the strength to remain present and face whatever comes next.

I want this painting to speak differently to every person who encounters it. Perhaps you see your own struggles in it. Perhaps you see someone who refused to give up.

Resilience is an original work by Lesly Pierre Paul, created for collectors who are drawn to art with emotion, symbolism, and a story that continues beyond the canvas.
