The energy: Being yourself · Showing up · Self-worth
Part of the family The Art of Being You – celebrating the woman you truly are.
You are a gift. Everyone else is already taken.
What would it be like to have this artwork on your wall …
as a daily reminder of who you already are?
There is exactly one of you.
“Born to Be Me” invites you to stop holding back and to show yourself – in all your uniqueness.
The figure seems to float, carried by a wide turquoise space,
surrounded by golden elements that feel like possibilities
finding you the moment you open up.
A moment of ease.
A moment of being.
A moment in which nothing is missing.
Let this piece remind you:
Your being is enough.
The story behind it
One day a woman walked past my old studio in Tübingen with her husband and her child. She wore a little dress and a hat, and she was utterly enchanting – so completely herself. It was exactly the energy I had been asking for.
We started talking and felt an instant connection, so I asked if she would model for me, just as she was. She said yes, shyly. I placed her on a little wall above the river Ammer, in full view of every passing tourist.
The first two attempts, she was still holding back. And then came the moment she stepped beyond herself – into her own uniqueness, radiant and fearless. My belly tingled, and I knew: this is it. That moment became this painting.
The original now lives in Switzerland, with a woman who has changed so much in her life in recent years. She chose Born to Be Me as her anchor – a symbol for every choice she makes, for standing up for herself, and for celebrating who she is.
This print is for you if…
- you’re ready to stop shrinking and let yourself be seen
- you’re in the middle of change and want an anchor for the choices you make
- you’re gifting self-worth to someone who doesn’t yet see how wonderful they are
Where this energy loves to live: by the mirror where you get ready each morning – or in the place you step out into the world from.
