MEEK

Vanessa Stefanova

Created in 2020.

This painting is the shape of a woman reflecting the surroundings and floating in a landscape.

Vanessa chose to call this painting “Meek” because she often finds herself meeting women without ambition or even hobbies, living their lives reflecting their surroundings doing what others expect of them... coasting by. Vanessa finds it astounding that the majority's “goals” are to get married. Something you can only really bring back to the nature vs nurture debate and question whether we've really evolved much in terms of gender roles. So Vanessa finally made a painting to express her thought.
