Poster "What you want"

"You don’t get what you want, you get what you earn"

Size: 16x16inches = 40.64x40.64cm

In the intense and evocative artwork titled "What you want," accompanied by the poignant subtitle "You don’t get what you want, you get what you earn," we are drawn into a narrative that explores themes of desire, effort, and the harsh realities of achievement. This piece captures a moment of profound introspection, where the battle between aspiration and reality is vividly portrayed through the figure's appearance and expression.

The central figure, a woman, is depicted with a fierce and determined gaze, her eyes hidden behind striking red lenses that glow with an almost otherworldly intensity. These glasses, with their vivid color, could symbolize the fire of ambition, the heat of passion, or perhaps the distortion of perception when one is consumed by desire. The red light reflects off her face, casting an aura of determination mixed with a hint of danger, suggesting that the path to achieving one's desires is fraught with challenges and perhaps personal cost.

Her face, marked with what appears to be streaks of blood or paint, adds to the narrative of struggle and effort. These marks could represent the trials and tribulations one must endure, the sacrifices made, or the battles fought in the pursuit of what one wants. They add a layer of realism to the pursuit of goals, emphasizing that success often comes with scars, both visible and invisible.

Her hair, wild and untamed, frames her face with strands that seem to catch the light, almost as if they are on fire, mirroring the intensity of her gaze and the theme of burning desire. This fiery imagery reinforces the idea that what one wants is something that consumes, drives, and perhaps even destroys, if not approached with balance.

She is dressed in a dark, leather-like jacket, which suggests toughness, resilience, and perhaps a readiness for confrontation. The jacket, with its rugged texture, contrasts with the ethereal glow of her glasses, grounding her in the reality of the physical world while her eyes look beyond, into the realm of aspiration. This attire speaks to the idea that to earn what you want, one must be prepared to face the harshness of reality, to armor oneself against the trials of life.

The background, a blend of dark and fiery tones, with abstract elements that could be interpreted as flames or sparks, adds to the atmosphere of intensity and conflict. It's as if the environment itself is reacting to her inner turmoil, her drive, and the external challenges she faces. This backdrop serves as a metaphor for the environment one must navigate to achieve their goals, filled with both light and shadow, opportunity and danger.

The subtitle, "You don’t get what you want, you get what you earn," adds a philosophical dimension to the visual narrative. It suggests that desire alone is not enough; it's the effort, the journey, the perseverance through adversity that defines what one ultimately receives. This piece becomes a visual representation of the meritocratic belief that rewards are commensurate with one's labor and dedication, not merely their wishes.

"What you want" would resonate in collections that explore themes of ambition, personal growth, the cost of success, or the journey from desire to achievement. It serves as a stark reminder of the reality that while we all have wants, it's the earning - through struggle, sacrifice, and resilience - that brings them to fruition. This artwork invites viewers to reflect on their own aspirations, the price they're willing to pay, and the understanding that true fulfillment often lies in the journey, not just the destination.
