New chapter (2026) Original Oil Painting by Doriana Radu

New Chapter is a bold contemporary figurative painting about transformation, destruction and the decision to start again.

A woman dressed in a striking pink rabbit costume stands beside a burning container, holding a can of gasoline. The fire becomes a powerful symbol of everything that has been left behind — old chapters, old identities and things that no longer belong in the present.

The contrast between the playful rabbit costume and the destructive fire creates an intentionally unsettling tension. Beneath the bright pinks, oranges and blues lies a darker narrative about change, liberation and taking control of one's own story.

The painting combines expressive brushwork, vivid colour and strong outlines with spontaneous marks, drips and layered textures. The highly saturated palette gives the scene an almost dreamlike, theatrical quality, while the figurative elements keep the story grounded.

New Chapter is about the moment when destruction can become transformation — when something has to burn before something new can begin.
