About this artwork

“Definitely explored some painful avenues and some scrapers. Got to be proud of our battle wounds and take every tear of the flesh as a manifestation of our achievements. Keep grinding, keep growing, cut the distractions and stay focused people it’s all about the journey.” Amy G.
This painting is about Amy G. one of the circus and aerial artists that entertain and perform in the open air for the enjoyment of the crowds.
No pain no gain seems to be the right slogan for the circus performers and aerial artists like the young lady that I used her images for this work. Falling with broken bones and bruises all over the body, still, brushing off the dust and grinding for the joy of their works makes their experience resonate with the facts of life -Roses and Thorns which is the theme of my works in general. For this reason, I chose the young lady's image for this latest work in my Roses and Thorns series titled “AMY G: The Queen of the Ring.”
