ART STATEMENT
"The First-Born" delves into the duality of being the eldest child, a role layered with both pride and sacrifice. This painting presents a striking juxtaposition, where darker, warm, and striking hues symbolize qualities like resilience, leadership, and the often-celebrated strength of the first-born, which sometimes is misconstrued as hardness and darkness of its persona. In contrast, lighter, more subdued colors embody the —the unspoken weakness and soft-heartedness that the early maturity had to set aside because of the responsibilities. It also shows that despite the highlighted strength and hardness, there's still kindness on the other side.
Through abstract forms and contrasting tones, "The First-Born" captures the multifaceted experience of carrying family expectations, showing both the admiration and the weight that accompany this role. The painting invites viewers to see beyond the surface, reflecting on the balance of joy and struggle, as well as the unseen layers that define the eldest child's journey.
