Behind the Canvas: My Journey
A Tale of Betrayal and Resilience
The inspiration behind ‘The Story of the Heart’ stems from a deeply personal and painful chapter in my life. Imagine discovering that your partner, the person you chose to marry, had been leading a secret relationship for nearly two years. This revelation hit me hard, especially since it unfolded during our marriage, shattering my world.
Sharing a child added layers of complexity and heartache. My first instinct wasn't to run; I stayed, hoping to hold the family together. I sat with my bleeding heart, downsizing and minimising everything that happened to me, trying to make sense of the chaos for the sake of my child. Therapy didn't provide the solace I sought, and as more details emerged, the pain intensified. I learned that the infidelity began as soon as I was pregnant, and this wasn't the first time.
Looking back, I see how naive and inexperienced I was, consumed by fear. But slowly, that fear and heartbreak began to fade. With immense support from those around me, I started to see my worth. I asked myself: ‘Is this the life you want to live? Is this your purpose? Who are you?’
This introspective journey marked the beginning of my transformation. From bleeding out to bearing a stain that will always stay with me- a reminder that, against all odds and what life throws at you, you have a choice. You can be a creator with a stain on your heart or a victim with a bleeding heart. The choice is yours.
My story, captured through these paintings, is one of heartbreak, resilience, and empowerment. I hope it inspires and helps others facing similar battles to find their strength and choose to heal.
