Recovery (2025)
Abstract Art - #artstackartist
Recovery is a deeply personal and emotionally charged abstract painting that encapsulates the journey of healing from childhood abuse. Inspired by Justin Bieber’s song Recovery, this piece explores the process of breaking free from past trauma and reclaiming self-identity.
Bold strokes of red, black, and white collide in a raw, expressive composition, symbolizing the intensity of pain, resilience, and renewal. The circular forms represent the cycles of trauma and healing, while sharp diagonal lines and glitch-like textures evoke the struggle of escaping the past. Splattered and layered elements mirror the chaotic yet transformative nature of recovery—messy, unpredictable, but ultimately freeing.
The dominant use of red reflects deep emotion—anger, survival, and passion—while the contrasting white and purple hues introduce themes of clarity, hope, and spiritual healing. The fractured composition suggests a fragmented past being reassembled into something new, embodying the courage it takes to confront fear and embrace growth.
More than just a painting, Recovery is a declaration of strength—a visual representation of the artist’s journey to release fear, reclaim power, and step into a future defined not by trauma, but by self-liberation and healing.
