Alone in abundance

The painting “Alone in Abundance” portrays a woman, perhaps a queen, who seemingly has everything – power, wealth, and beauty – yet carries a profound sense of inner emptiness. The globe she holds symbolizes her desire for control and insatiable greed, a perpetual hunger for more despite being surrounded by opulence. The rich textiles and intricate details of her attire represent material wealth, while her melancholic gaze and isolated demeanor suggest that power and riches cannot fill a lonely and restless soul.

This work explores themes of greed, ambition, and the psychological toll of power. Through warm earth tones and the contrast of light and shadow, an introspective atmosphere is created, amplifying the sense of isolation. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on what truly brings meaning and fulfillment in life, and how abundance can often highlight emptiness rather than alleviate it.
