“Caro” Original painting

Original painting by Alona Petliarska

From the Internal Spectrum series

“She stopped reflecting. She started acting.”

Caro. In Latin — dear one. Beloved. Caro is the heartbeat of the Internal Spectrum series. While some transformations are quiet and slow, Caro represents the moment of ignition. The background symbolises the point in a woman's journey where she stops reflecting and starts acting. The red represents a Fire of Presence — the courage required to step into a new version of oneself.
