Choice is yours

36x24" Oil painting and mixed media on stretched canvas

This painting is inspired from an African Proverb. 

” Every morning, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. Every morning a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. It doesn’t matter if you are a lion or a gazelle... when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

In essence, this painting is my personal interpretation based on the proverb above and aims to inspire women to be strong, resilient, and proactive in facing life's challenges, to embrace their power, and to run towards their aspirations with determination and courage. It reminds them that regardless of their circumstances, they have the choice and capacity to thrive and succeed.
