Self-Reflection

Cara Orendain

Recently, I have been exploring the use of portraiture as a means of not only improving my skills as an artist, but also to challenge my own perception of myself and conventional beauty. Growing up as a person of colour in a predominantly white society, I have always felt far from the beauty standard. Creating these portraits, in a way, has helped absolve that self-hatred, allowing me to embrace the beauty in my own uniqueness.

Artist: Cara Orendain is a young artist who pursues art as a passionate hobby. Experimenting with various styles and mediums they are exploring portraiture as a means of challenging their own self-perception and ideas on conventional beauty.
