“Let the Game Begin” (2024)

Original Painting 65 x 54 in (165 x 137 cm), 2024, oil, acrylic on canvas.

In this piece, the heroine stands at the threshold — of life, of the game, of her mission. It marks the beginning of a journey shaped by decisions and consequences, each one unfolding new realities.

This work opens a new chapter in the artist’s practice: for the first time, the face of the heroine is revealed. In previous series, she remained anonymous — a symbol rather than a self. Here, she claims her identity. She becomes an individual, a force, a protagonist in a story written by choice.

“Let the Game Begin” asks a central question: What if everything we see is a simulation? A virtual skin stretched over reality, where our bodies are just avatars and choices are the only true currency.

More than just an image of beginning, this painting is a meditation on freedom in the digital age — a space where each turning point is a moment of truth, and art becomes a map of the mind.
