Absence of Fear

Fri Sep 12, 2008, 9:29 AM
An-Nyssa means The Woman in Arabic. As the name implies, these are pages on representations of women.

And my art is my tribute to my new viewpoint in life - absence of fear.

I'm not scared of being a sexual being, of being a strong woman, of being voluptuous and beautiful, of being smart. I'm not scared of being vulnerable, of needing and of being completely a woman in all the best possible ways.

It's taken several decades to get here, but here I am. I begun this page to share with friends and strangers my expressions of these feelings. Enjoy.

Oh, and the actual paintings are for sale (mostly for those within my geographical location). Email me. Support the "Yante wants a house" Fund.
Again, enjoy.

People aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard-y centers.

Ohh, beautiful feminist artwork! Thank you for making these wonderful paintings. This is exactly the kind of thing I'd always hoped to see... on DeviantArt, or elsewhere. Thank you. :)

Thanks to those who've glanced through these paintings and even *gasp with surprise* noted them as favourites. I haven't had a chance to come here to post work because of constraints in my day job. I work for the UN agency for refugees and it's just been crazy hectic. But THANK YOU for all the very very kind words from all.
Cheers, Yante
