Las Que Son #1

Las Que Son #1

Acrylic painting with handwritten poem

Las Que Son #1 is the first piece in the Las Que Son collection—a series honoring women who stand in truth, even when that truth is uncertain, tender, or unseen.

This elongated portrait carries a quiet intensity. Her gaze is direct, calm, and unflinching. Gold accents move through her hair and skin like memory, resilience, and lived wisdom. The black dress anchors her presence while the red, expressive sleeves suggest both strength and emotional depth—what has been carried, endured, and transformed.

Embedded within the painting is a handwritten poem, partially concealed within the layers. The text speaks to willingness—to enter the unknown, to trust without guarantees, to embrace uncertainty not as failure, but as a sacred passage. The poem is not meant to be fully decoded at first glance; it reveals itself slowly, much like the becoming it describes.

This piece is about courage without bravado. Faith without performance. Presence without explanation.
