Pride: An ode to the beauty of the self—and the peril of believing it is everything
In 'Pride,' we witness a moment of exquisite self-admiration. A peacock, elevated upon a throne, unfurls its majestic plumage before its own reflection—caught in an eternal gaze of self-worship. The symmetry is deliberate, like a visual echo, inviting the viewer to question: is this confidence, or conceit? Empowerment, or illusion?"
"The ornate golden frame and the purple blooms evoke royalty and luxury, yet they also signal entrapment—how pride can blossom into a gilded cage. This painting speaks to anyone who has stood on a pedestal of their own making, only to wonder if the applause was real, or imagined."
"Collectors will find in this piece a duality: it honors the necessity of self-worth while revealing the vulnerability beneath polished grandeur. 'Pride' is not just visual—it’s introspective. It challenges the viewer to see where pride becomes performance, and where identity meets illusion."
