The first painting in what has become known as the Empowered Collection, ‘I am Strong’ was inspired by strong women, the Pop art and Street Art movements, and how we navigate through our lives.
“Wonder Woman is empowered, strong, fierce yet delicate, broken and overwhelmed. She provided a perfect subject to base this portrait on”.
Emelie used collage to signify her thoughts and dreams in this piece, but didn’t take this method any further than the second in the Collection, ‘I am Fierce’, making these initial two paintings the rarest in the Collection so far.
