Original artwork description
In this portrait, I explore the foundational themes of self-worth and the quiet dignity of high self-esteem. By placing a vibrant blue crown upon my subject, I am not referencing inherited royalty, but rather the "self-prestige" that comes from recognizing one's own inherent value. I chose a bold, unfiltered red background to emphasize her presence and command over her own space—her "castle." The direct gaze and subtle, confident smile are intentional, reflecting a spirit that is at peace and unapologetic. Through expressive textures and warm, golden light hitting her features, I want to celebrate the beauty of a young mind that understands its own brilliance. This work is my tribute to the internal strength required to see oneself as a princess of their own making, independent of external validation. It is a celebration of the inner sanctuary we build when we finally decide to chill in the power of our own worth.
