It is unknown who this striking and powerful lady is but her strength of character is without question. Dressed elegantly she fixes her gaze with both artist and viewer, in a deeply captivating and arresting manner. Serneels showcases all of the usual flair and immediacy for which he became known and paints his subject with a directness that matches her expression.
Clement Serneels was born to a Spanish mother and a Flemish father in 1912. He attended the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Belgium, where he was considered a top student. In 1936, he was awarded a government scholarship to spend a year painting in the former Belgian Congo.
Off the back of the success of the exhibition following this trip, Serneels returned to Central Africa in 1938. When World War II broke out, the artist stayed on in Belgian Congo and made Africa his home until 1960.

At the heart of the artwork lies a young woman adorned in a striking red dress. The choice of red as the dominant color symbolizes strength, passion, and confidence. It serves as a visual representation of the artist's intention to empower and embolden the subject, inspiring viewers to embrace their own identities unapologetically. The woman in the red dress becomes a beacon of self-assurance, encouraging others to fully express themselves without fear or hesitation.
"Here I Am" encapsulates the essence of celebrating one's individuality. The young woman's presence demands attention, her confident stance serving as a powerful statement of self-acceptance. The artwork encourages viewers to embrace the unique attributes, quirks, and qualities that make them who they are. It celebrates the beauty of diversity and underscores the importance of allowing oneself to shine authentically.
