Beautiful Mess
‘Beautiful Mess’ 2025
14 × 18” oil on canvas
Ready to hang and varnished with Gamblin Gamvar satin varnish.
‘Beautiful Mess’ is a contemporary still life that explores the rituals of femininity and the often-overlooked artistry within them. Featuring an array of makeup products, perfume bottles, jewellery, and beauty tools scattered across a bold pink surface, the work captures the chaotic yet deliberate process of getting ready. It speaks to the experience of girlhood and womanhood—where creating beauty is both an expressive act and a personal transformation. This composition finds elegance in disorder, celebrating the vibrant, relatable moments of self-expression found in many women’s daily lives.
