Story Behind the Painting
This beautiful and evocative piece is layered in so many ways that it speaks to the viewer endlessly. The phrase ‘Such is Life’ sums up the woman’s cool appearance and all life’s ups and downs. She has accepted that there will be dark and light in everyone’s journey, that the dark bird of sorrow and pain will be countered with the equally light bird of hope and survival. Her look is accepting and serene. She has shed tears but is content that she is surviving with strength and intelligence and the starry night washes over her with an all knowing other worldly light. She has reached acceptance and is unafraid.
