"Slashed"
16x20" Original Acrylic on Canvas
By Tyeink
“Slashed” is a visual tribute to the strength of a woman who has endured — and overcome. This bold acrylic painting captures a domestic violence survivor in a raw, unguarded moment. Her crossed arms symbolize both self-protection and quiet defiance, while her striking hair and piercing gaze reflect the beauty and power that remain, even after pain. The title “Slashed” speaks to the emotional and physical wounds left behind — not to glorify them, but to acknowledge their existence and the resilience required to heal. Set against a golden backdrop, this piece honors every woman who has found the courage to stand in her truth and reclaim her power.
