The Divine Feminine - Scarification By Kirsten Todd Acrylic on canvas 2019 Signed - SHIPS FROM Lancashire, UK Original painting by Kirsten Todd. Acrylic on canvas, unframed ready to hang, signed on the front and reverse by the artist and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.Contemporary portrait of a matriarchal tribeswoman from Africa, showing the scarification on her face and her inherant wisdom. I paint contemporary acrylic portraits around the divine feminine, the human form, vibration, frequency and our interconnection to everything that exists. I work intuitively, channelling strokes in a state of flow — spontaneous marks, layered paint and considered gestures build each figure and presence, with the features, colour and energy of each piece emerging intuitively through the process.I deliberately leave areas of the abstract background showing through the figure so portrait and environment exist in symbiosis; they shape and inform one another, symbolising interdependence and our interconnectedness with all that is. My process is both instinctive and intentional: intuition guides the hand while technique holds the form. Through expressive brushwork, palette knife and layered acrylics, I build texture, rhythm and vibration across the surface.My intention is to capture not only inner strength and energy, but also the intimacy and vulnerability of the human spirit. I want the viewer to feel the emotion within the painting — to be moved by it, to take something away from the experience. Each canvas becomes an energetic exchange, inviting connection, reflection and response. Ultimately, my work celebrates presence, resilience, healing and the evolving power of the feminine.
