"If only I didn't care !" | Portrait femme peinture à l'huile | carton entoilé

Portrait of a woman in oil paint on canvas board (30 x 40 cm), “ If only I didn’t care! ” is from the series “Fragments of her – Portraits of women who rise again” .
 This contemporary portrait captures a moment of inner shift: the moment when one finally chooses to define oneself by one's own colors rather than by the gaze of others.

 Against a deep black background, the figure stands out powerfully. Its clear gaze, slightly turned outwards, seems both lucid and determined. The skin is modeled with warm shades of beige, ochre, and pink, worked in successive layers to suggest living matter and the light that glides over the face and shoulder.

 The hair becomes a true manifesto of freedom: violet strands, touches of pink, gold, and yellow intertwine in fluid movements, like a luminous aura that defies all attempts at control. Each brushstroke, visible and deliberate, reveals the artist's gesture and reinforces the vibrant aspect of the painting.

 "If only I didn't care!" It speaks of renewed confidence , boldness , and self-affirmation . It's an ideal piece for an interior that celebrates individuality, feminine strength, and the power of personal choices. Hung in a living room, therapist's office, consultation room, or bedroom, it serves as a daily reminder that authenticity is a light just waiting to be embraced.
