Nava Lundy

Because She Believed, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
"Believing in yourself is probably our greatest superpower," states artist Nava Lundy. She paints an arresting portrait of a woman in grayscale, highlighting colors on her eyes and lips. The oversized butterfly symbolizes her metamorphosis as her self-doubt fades away and internal convictions grow. The piece matches well with its sister painting, "Shine Your Light," but also presents remarkably as a standalone.

About the Artist
Nava’s romantic and heavily textured impressionist paintings radiate delicate, feminine charm. She focuses on creating depth and dimension with the layers of impasto she applies with a palette knife. This textural element blurs and abstracts the composition, conveying a notion of gentle, bleary-eyed beauty. Nava preps each canvas with a gold wash to make her paintings glimmer with luscious warmth. She works from her home in Florida, amid the chaos of children and canines, and finds peace painting in silence.
