Born to Be Real, Not Perfect (2026)Acrylic painting by Tetiana Hutsul

Vertical/horizontal art

Born to Be Real, Not Perfect is a large-scale abstract floral painting measuring 120 × 220 cm, created to become a powerful focal point in a contemporary interior where art speaks quietly yet confidently.
Set against a deep, dark background, soft pale blue, grey, beige, and earthy brown flowers emerge with calm intensity. Their muted tones create a sense of balance and depth, while the leaves, accented with bronze gold leaf, gently catch the light and add a subtle, luxurious glow. This hand-painted artwork changes throughout the day, interacting with natural and artificial light, making it a living presence within the space.
Inspiration and Meaning
I chose these particular flowers because they do not strive for perfection. They exist as they are — authentic, imperfect, and deeply human. This painting was inspired by the idea that beauty does not lie in symmetry or flawlessness, but in honesty, vulnerability, and inner strength.
What guides me as an artist is the desire to create art that feels real — art that reflects emotional depth rather than decorative perfection. The flowers appear slightly restrained, almost meditative, symbolizing resilience, quiet growth, and acceptance. The bronze leaves represent endurance and warmth, reminding us that even in darkness, there is light and value.
Interior Style Compatibility
This contemporary abstract floral painting is ideal for modern, minimalist, wabi-sabi, Japandi, industrial, and luxury interiors. It works beautifully in spacious living rooms, dining areas, hotel lobbies, boutique interiors, and designer homes where large wall art is used to define atmosphere and character.
The dark background makes it especially suitable for interiors with neutral palettes, textured walls, concrete, stone, wood, or warm metallic accents. Interior designers often choose this type of statement floral artwork to bring emotional depth and sophistication into a space.
For Collectors and Designers
This is an original hand-painted floral artwork by a contemporary artist from Ukraine, created for collectors who seek exclusive abstract flower paintings, large contemporary wall art, and meaningful art for modern interiors. It is not about perfection — it is about presence, emotion, and truth.
Born to Be Real, Not Perfect is a reminder that authenticity is the most powerful form of beauty.
