The uproar

The Uproar

Piece description from the artist

The Uproar is a representation of a burst of energy. It tells the story of a powerful wave coming alive and having a mind of its own, even in the impending darkness. This painting initially started as a way for me to release the anger and frustration that I was dealing with in my life. We all face experiences in which we feel like we have been mistreated or weren't given the opportunity that we deserved. This experience to me was best expressed through a powerful, electrifying wave. During that time, it made the most sense to express those feelings by placing the brush on my canvas and working with colors that I never bothered to work with before. To experiment with movements and techniques that allowed this wave to come alive.

This painting defines the first time I decided to stop holding back in my art, which ended up being a turning point in the way I paint. There is so much in life we cannot control, but how we react and handle those situations defines our character and how we are going to shape our future. Let's use these experiences as a way to learn and empower ourselves.

Taking inspiration from big names such as Claude Monet, Joan Mitchell, Sargent, and Edgar Degas, Samantha’s work uses jewel-tones in contrast with subtle natural colors to generate a feeling of serenity, allowing people appreciate the beauty of our planet has created, and through that inspire people to make a beautiful change in this world.
