The Queen's Gambit - Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 36 Inches

There is nothing quite like the feeling of victory. BOOM. POW. YEAH! Especially when you’ve known the taste of defeat. In a game of chess, a player makes a gambit move (like sacrificing a pawn) to gain a later advantage. Without discounting the number of hours in practice, and losses encountered, the player knows what it takes to win. The Gambit in regular, everyday, normal life is little sacrifices and risks. Now, for a woman to win in a man’s world, self-belief is also needed given that the perfect level playing field is still some time away.Small wins or big wins, when in a game you crave it. Always remember the wins because that feeling when #TFW, you win is priceless. A win is a state of ecstasy or ‘high’. Sometimes you may be questioned about why you are doing what you are doing. But going back to the feeling when you have won in the past, that feeling prompts you to taste more of wins. This painting is a simple reminder that success is sweet, even if the path to getting there can be bitter.

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT is part of "Keeping it real" collection

Keeping it real is all about managing everyday emotions, being vulnerable, and thriving in simple pleasures. By doing so, we come across as authentic, who do not follow cultural norms but strive to develop a norm that is centered on peace, passion, and, full of life. Through this collection, we lift the voices that challenge social traditions, and gender dynamics and replace them with a new narrative that offers possibilities for every woman to live life king-size.
