Awakening (2023) Original Oil Painting by Yana Raynus

76.2 x 101.6 x 5.08cm (unframed) / 76.2 x 101.6cm (actual image size)

£1,046.99

This contemporary figurative painting explores the tension between vulnerability and self-protection.

A solitary female figure is turned away from the viewer, her bare back exposed against an intense red background. A gloved hand presses along the spine, where sharp forms emerge -a metaphor for inner defense, emotional armor, and the silent cost of strength.

The contrast between soft skin and rigid spikes reflects the paradox of fragility and resilience. The work invites the viewer to consider how we protect ourselves, what we hide, and what remains visible despite our attempts to conceal it.

Minimal in composition yet psychologically charged, this piece functions both as a visual statement and as an intimate reflection on personal boundaries.
The artwork will be carefully rolled and shipped in a protective tube.
