Persistent Girl - Original Acrylic Painting

"Persistent Girl" is an original acrylic painting from my WORDS series. A young girl in a swimsuit is captured mid-swing, suspended in the air against a richly textured teal and peach background. The composition radiates strength, motion, and determination, with subtle, layered words like “persistent” and “energetic” emerging from the surface. The mood is dynamic and empowering—a quiet tribute to the willpower it takes to keep going.

Beneath the surface of this piece is a poem that reads: “I am a persistent energetic girl.” I created this painting as a response to the challenges so many girls face—the boxes they’re placed in, the expectations pressed upon them, and the unfairness they encounter in society. These words are a rebellion, a reminder of our resilience and raw energy, even when the world asks us to sit still and wait our turn. This painting is about defining ourselves on our own terms—because that’s just who we are.
