“Veritas” by JFeelgood is a thought-provoking mixed media artwork measuring 24x30x1 inches. This painting features a delicate depiction of a princess figure on stage, rendered with a transparent quality that conveys the theme of losing one’s true self to the expectations and performances imposed by others. The background is an abstract explosion of colors, created with bold strokes of pink, yellow, blue, and green, suggesting the chaotic and vibrant backdrop of life or the complexities of the persona she presents.
The stage is framed in a muted black with metallic accents, drawing attention to the central figure of the princess, who appears to be engrossed in her own world despite the colorful tumult behind her. Her serene, almost ghostly presence contrasts with the vivid energy of the backdrop, symbolizing the inner conflict between authentic identity and the roles we perform for society.
The transparency of the princess figure is a powerful visual metaphor for the erosion of self that can occur when one’s true nature is obscured by the need to conform or please others. This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of balancing personal authenticity with societal expectations.
“Veritas” captures the essence of vulnerability and introspection, encouraging a deeper understanding of identity and the courage to remain true to oneself amidst external pressures.
