Unyielding is a portrait series born from reverence—for the women history overlooked, silenced, or softened.

Each painting in this collection honors a warrior: some legendary, some nearly forgotten, all fierce. They are generals, rebels, defenders of their people. They are mythic and mortal. Real and reimagined. They do not pose; they confront.

I am drawn to faces where strength is not shouted, but seared—etched into the brow, clenched in the jaw, steady in the gaze. These women hold weapons, yes—but it is their restraint, their clarity, their burden, and their legacy that I seek to capture in oil.

As a portrait artist, I’ve always believed a face is a battlefield of its own: memory against moment, defiance against expectation. With every brushstroke, I am not just painting a likeness—I am summoning a presence.

Unyielding is not just a tribute.
It is a refusal to forget.
It is a gallery of echoes—loud, proud, and very much alive.
