Hold Yourself (2023) Original Oil Painting by Flávia Leitão

20 x 30 x 4cm

£434.02

Hold Yourself explores the relationship between vulnerability and self-comfort through the image of a hand gripping the body’s soft surface. The gesture feels both protective and tense, as if the figure is searching for reassurance within their own touch.

The contrast between the smooth skin and the detailed texture of the hand emphasizes the physicality of the body and the emotional weight carried within it. Isolated against a dark background, the painting transforms a simple act of holding into a reflection on intimacy, fragility, and the need for self-preservation.
