Karla, Mexico

My artwork is a visual representation of my journey through cancer—a mix of pain, hope, and resilience. Using bold colors and abstract forms, I aimed to capture the emotional rollercoaster of the experience. Darker shades symbolize fear and uncertainty, while vibrant hues reflect moments of strength and healing.

The layered textures in the piece represent the complexity of emotions I faced—anger, sadness, but also gratitude and determination. Just as each brushstroke adds depth to the painting, each challenge I encountered shaped my perspective on life.

This artwork is not just about illness; it’s about transformation. Cancer changed me, but it also taught me to see beauty in struggle, to embrace vulnerability, and to find hope even in the darkest moments.
