About this artwork

„If you don't throw your self into something, you'll never know what you could have had”
- Amy Winehouse

"She Was Born to Sing" — where voice becomes destiny, a painting nspired by an icon of the English music scene.
She Was Born to Sing is a contemporary portrait inspired by the raw power of a legendary female voice and the mythology of modern music culture. Painted in oil on layered newspaper, the work merges personal expression with mass media, transforming ephemeral printed narratives into a permanent, emotional record.
By using newspaper as a ground, the artist references public exposure, celebrity culture, and the relentless consumption of personal stories. In contrast, the painted figure asserts individuality and inner truth, refusing to be reduced to headlines. The work exists at the intersection of contemporary portraiture, music culture, and social commentary.
"She Was Born to Sing" is part of an ongoing series exploring cultural icons as modern myths — figures whose voices, presence, and identities transcend time, trend, and medium.
