Love Yourself I-II episodes - Blue. (2018) Original Acrylic Painting by Maria Seltsova

A large-scale painting from the Love Yourself series, dedicated to the blue energy of the Throat Chakra symbolizing self-expression, authenticity, and communication. Created through an experimental process involving a self-pleasure device as a mark-making tool, the work transforms a private act into a powerful expression of personal freedom and creative energy.

Through expressive gestures and layered shades of blue as the base and other colors on it, the painting explores the connection between sensuality, vulnerability, and the courage to speak one's truth. A bold work of abstract expressionism that merges spiritual symbolism with contemporary sexual art.
