Bruna

"Bruna" is a realistic female portrait painted for the cover of the book "Live consciously, not stressfully" by Maja Prović LIfe & Mindfulness Coach.
One half of the face is smiling and the other is not. On one side, the hair is accentuated and cheerful, and on the other, it falls in a subdued, wavy way along the face.
In this way, I wanted to emphasize the difference between a conscious and a stressed individual.
The goal was to communicate the theme of the book using a painting. At the same time, it should have attracted attention so that people would want to buy the book.
There is also the lotus flower, which through psychology symbolizes the ability to turn unpleasant situations into potential. It is also a symbol of purity and beauty rising from the mud.
