Beautiful Ruins

Original abstract painting | Mixed media on raw cotton canvas | 50 x 40 cm | Framed in natural oak

There is a quiet power in what remains after the storm—
moments when life feels fragile, worn, or torn,
and yet something luminous rises from the cracks.

Beautiful Ruin is about that tender tension:
the spaces where pain meets courage,
where wounds are honored, and healing quietly begins.

Soft layers of water and earth-like textures drift like memories of what once was,
while bright marks of orange punctuate the shadows—
tiny sparks of light that refuse to be hidden.
Handmade stitchings trace the invisible scars,
reminding us that vulnerability carries its own strength.

This painting invites you to witness your own resilience,
to see the beauty that grows even from what feels broken.
It is a meditation on roots and renewal—
on how the soil of our experiences, even the hardest, can become the ground for growth.

May it remind you that even in moments of rock bottoms,
your roots are deep, your light is waiting,
and something beautiful is always possible.

This original painting is part of Roots Of Self.
