Ophelia by Amanda Marino
Oil Painting
22x28
 
This painting reflects my journey through grief, trauma, and loss—experiences that once threatened to break me. The figure, intertwined with wildflowers, symbolizes the quiet resilience that grew even in the darkest moments. Each layer speaks to the pain I carried and the strength I found in reclaiming myself. Healing wasn’t about returning to who I was, but becoming who I always knew I was beneath the hurt. It’s a visual testament to growth, transformation, and the beauty that can bloom from even the most broken places.
