It Was All Yellow Original Acrylic Painting

It Was All Yellow is a singular, emotionally charged painting that merges delicate realism with surreal symbolism. This original piece captures the haunting experience of being consumed by societal expectations—embodied by the bees and butterflies that feast upon the figure.

Sunflowers, often seen as emblems of joy, are reinterpreted here to reveal the invisible weight of chronic illness, neurodiversity, and unseen struggle. Rather than blooming from the earth, the flowers grow uncontrollably over the subject’s skin, creating a poignant barrier between her authentic self and the outside world.

Layered brushwork, nuanced color transitions, and intentional imperfections give this painting a raw, intimate texture that cannot be replicated. Offered as a one-of-a-kind original, this work invites collectors to own not just a piece of art but a powerful statement of resilience and hidden beauty.

The original painting was created with acrylic paint on canvas in April 2025 and was finished on Saturday, April 16th.
