stranger with flowers (2020) Pintura por Mari Dein

Painting: Oil, Resin on Wood.

This work is one from the series of works that are diskribing my thoughts on the topic of sexual stereotypes, gender roles and who are such strong personalities? I think all these questions are inextricably linked with the appearance of a daughter in my life.
For some reason, such a trait as tenderness is often perceived as weakness, and tough personalities are considered strong. What about emotionality? We are multifaceted, we are multilayered, my layering technique helps to reflect this. We are gentle and tolerant of love and harmony, and this is a manifestation of strength; we can cry and do not worry about what others think, tears help to remove the products of the breakdown of the stress hormone, and this is stress resistance. We are sometimes emotional, and sometimes vice versa - closed, and both are normal. To ask for help is not a manifestation of weakness, to accept help is a very difficult skill. We have the right to be what we want. We are not women or men, but people as a whole.

The painting is made in the author's technique: layer-by-layer smears of oil and epoxy. Used a plywood as a base for its gentle wooden texture.
