Leaving Behind Print

I was inspired to make this piece due to my body image problems and eating disorder. Many of my pieces are in a figurative sense helping me to be more body positive. Through painting various womens bodies I have learned the beauty of all the shapes and sizes. The beauty in the imperfection. I hope it can inspire and encourage other women to see this beauty too. I chose to do this one from behind because i'm at a point in my life where I have finally after 10 years am recovering from my eating disorder and in a sense leaving it behind. I've finally cut out toxic relationships from my life and begun to take care of myself. This to me is a painting of new beginnings of leaving all that behind, all my fears, worries, and anger. The style to me is very lovely and unique with the blue tones that promotes a feeling of calm and hope for me. I hope it can bring positive feelings to the buyer as well. I enjoy doing simple shapes, as I am a newer artist and self taught. I chose acrylic, gauche, and pastel because I love how they feel putting on a canvas. I am autistic and enjoy the sensory aspect of painting. Therefore I choose pastel to start with a nice chalky feeling and then mix acrylic/gauche to paint. These are such pleasant sensory experiences for me. I hope this catches the right buyer who can appreciate the value of the story behind this painting as well as the piece itself.
