Empowered Woman - Artist - Model - Writer - Singer - Dancer - Mother
In the past, we’ve set aside strong women and labelled them as evil for their lack of fitting in perfectly. I believe that in my past lives, the women that have created my entity had to fight for being who they were. I also believe that their is a difference between personalities, needs and social behaviors. Opinion, charisma and ambition are part of the human and not the gender. All three of these concepts, combined with fear and lack of acceptance or even understanding, make for witch hunts.
The only way I see that women could move ahead of being perceived has demons or witches, sluts or bitches, is if they are themselves for long enough, warriors. Each, and every single one of us. Hopefully, in numbers, these characters will reunite to dissolve negative perspectives. These portraits are characters of beautiful empowered women along with a blend of their perception of themselves, their ideals and how they would be translated into mythical creatures and ghosts.
Female Oni and Yokai are not evil because of their gender, but because of their background, their past. Women carry children and therefore they are precious. But not too precious to be Valkyries. So, these mythical creatures I create bring a story to life while, at the same time they idealize the struggle of empowered women.
