🌿 Embrace

Original Watercolor & Mixed Media on Canvas by Jen Duran

Description:
Embrace is a gentle yet powerful invitation into self-compassion. A serene, faceless figure emerges—eyes closed, cheeks brushed with blossoms—bathed in soothing aquamarines and soft neutrals. Her closed posture, veiled by delicate ink lines and pastel drips, speaks to introspection and inner peace. Beneath it all, a soft crimson heart pulses with authenticity, subtly grounding the visual poetry in emotional truth.

This piece captures the quiet joy of being held—by ourselves, by moments of healing, by the promise of stillness.
