“Freedom Doll” – A powerful work of art that pushes the boundaries of social norms

Discover the unique strength and individuality in this expressive painting.

My painting refers to the fact that we often live for the public and try to please other people, which is completely unnecessary. Each of us should live in a way that makes us feel happy first and foremost. People watch us from everywhere and criticize, comment on our behavior, the way we dress, our appearance, etc. But no one has yet been born who could please everyone. Even if you were an angel, there would always be someone who would be bothered by the fluttering of your wings. If you're dressed smartly it's called "you've dressed up", if you're dressed casually it's called "you're letting yourself go". No matter what you do, there will always be someone who doesn't like it. So? It is better to live in a way that makes us feel good about ourselves and our family. Of course you have to adhere to certain standards at work, but at least give yourself some time after work to be who you want to be.
