From out of the Shadows
Her power is born
She rises up
A force…
Of reckoning
Of being
Of taking up space and
Embracing her inner worth
As an artist, I have always believed that art has the power to inspire, heal, and uplift. With my latest Doodle Gears painting, Your Power Lies Within, the first piece in THE AGE OF WOMEN collection, I sought to bring that belief to life in a way that speaks directly to the heart of every woman. This painting is not just a beautiful portrayal of a woman’s face—it is a call to action for all women to look within themselves, find their inner strength, and use it to navigate the highs and lows of life.
This painting serves as a powerful reminder for women everywhere to embrace their inner power and strength. It is not just a work of art, but a symbol of empowerment, inviting you to find the strength and resilience that lies within.
Let this vibrant, transformative piece remind you that your power is always within reach—it's time to unleash it.
Exploring "Your Power Lies Within" and the Enlightenment Symbol: Power Comes from Within
The Vision Behind "Your Power Lies Within"
Your Power Lies Within is a striking piece that symbolizes empowerment, resilience, and the importance of recognizing our inner power. At the center of this painting is the face of a woman, her expression both serene and strong, with one of her eyes covered by a gear. The gear represents the intricate mechanics of life—the never-ending motion of our personal journeys and the unique paths we all take. The kaleidoscope of vibrant, rich jewel colors swirling around her speaks to the complexity and beauty of feminine strength.
The symbolism of the gear covering one eye is intentional. It represents the idea that, while external factors may shape our lives and perceptions, the true power and clarity we need to navigate the world come from within. It is a reminder that no matter what challenges we face or what obstacles lie in our path, our inner vision is what guides us.
Incorporating the "Power Comes from Within" Enlightenment Symbol
At the heart of this painting is a symbol from my Enlightenment collection, titled "Power Comes from Within." This symbol is a focal point in Your Power Lies Within, representing the essence of what it means to harness inner strength.
The symbol consists of a broken, open circle with an arrow pointing in one direction. Inside this circle is a smaller, broken circle with its own arrow pointing in the opposite direction. At the center of both circles is a vertical line that signifies the channeling of power from within. Each element of this symbol plays a crucial role in conveying its deeper meaning.
- The outer circle with its arrow points outward, symbolizing the outward challenges, decisions, and actions we face in life. It represents how we often look externally for direction, validation, or answers.
- The inner circle’s arrow points in the opposite direction, reminding us that the answers and the strength we seek are not found outside of ourselves but within.
- The vertical line in the middle is the anchor of this symbol, representing our inner power, balance, and the connection to our core. It is a powerful reminder that no matter how external forces pull us, the true source of power lies within us, waiting to be tapped.
This symbol is placed thoughtfully within the composition of Your Power Lies Within to draw the viewer’s attention not only to the external beauty of the painting but to the inner message it carries. It is a visual representation of the deep truth that every woman holds the strength she needs inside her—no matter the direction life takes her.
Empowering Women Through Art
The creation of Your Power Lies Within and the entire Age of Women collection stems from a desire to empower women to embrace their divine femininity, strength, and resilience. Throughout history, women have been underestimated and overlooked in various fields, but now is the time to rise and take ownership of our power. We see this rise happening all around us, and need to embrace our own place within this movement.
The concept of The Age of Women collection is rooted in the idea that every woman, no matter her background, has a unique power that can change the world. Whether in the world of sports, business, art, or any other field, women have always had the capability to lead, inspire, and break barriers. Yet, it is often our internal doubts and societal pressures that prevent us from recognizing this power. With this collection, I want to remind every woman that her power is not something she needs to seek externally—it is already inside her, waiting to be realized.
Finding Strength Through Life’s Highs and Lows
One of the key messages of Your Power Lies Within is that life is a constant journey filled with highs and lows. As women, we face moments of triumph, joy, and success, but we also experience setbacks, pain, and challenges. It is easy to become overwhelmed by these obstacles, to feel lost, or to doubt our ability to move forward. But it is in these moments of uncertainty that we need to look inward and find our core strength.
The symbol of the broken circle in the "Power Comes from Within" design reflects this truth. Life is not a perfect, unbroken line. It is filled with breaks, detours, and shifts in direction. The arrows pointing in different directions remind us that while the world may pull us in different ways, we always have the power to find our path. And the vertical line in the center is there to ground us, reminding us that our power is constant and unwavering, no matter the chaos around us.
In creating this painting, I wanted to create a visual experience that reminds women to trust their inner voice and strength, even when the world seems to pull them in a million directions. I want women to stand in front of this painting and feel a sense of calm, clarity, and empowerment, knowing that they have everything they need to thrive within themselves.
A Message for Every Woman
Your Power Lies Within is more than a painting—it’s an invitation. An invitation for women to explore their inner world, to recognize the immense power they hold, and to use that power to shape their lives. We often look outside of ourselves for validation, strength, or direction, but the truth is that everything we need already exists within us.
As you look at this piece, let it be a reminder that your journey is your own. No matter what challenges you face, no matter how many twists and turns your path takes, your power is always within you. Trust yourself, believe in your strength, and know that you have the ability to overcome, rise, and create the life you desire.
Through art, I hope to inspire women to embrace their authentic selves, to find their inner strength, and to know that they are enough. You are powerful, you are capable, and most importantly—you are already everything you need to be.
Let this painting and the Enlightenment symbol be your reminder every day: Your power truly lies within.
