Goliath Beetle Original Painting
12” x 12” acrylic on canvas panel.
The ongoing Bejeweled series was created as a point of reflection. Kristina was in the midst of her divorce after suffering years of emotional and mental abuse, with her body in an almost constant state of survival mode as it failed her way through six IVF's, two IUI's and a miscarriage for an (ex) husband that was not open to adoption and insisted on having a biological child, despite her age. After each disappointment, she was told it didn't work because her "energetic body was dirty" and she “wasn't trying hard enough”. Her value, contributions and sacrifices were neither seen, nor appreciated. Her ideas, suggestions and feelings were consistently squashed. For a long time, she didn’t realize her own wants and dreams were just as important as anyone else’s. She fell into a dark pit of depression and was so tired of being looked at like an insect.
The Goliath beetle is a symbol of transformation, strength, and resilience. Kristina is so resilient! Granted, her healing and transformation was not done alone. But she did the hard work and she's able to handle a lot more than she realized. She wants you to know that YOU can handle more than you realize too. And you're not alone. Don't let anyone make you feel small and worthless. You get to be large and in charge of your own life.

The Goliath Beetle is a one-of-a-kind, original painting created with a combination of traditional Golden and Arteza acrylics as well as the relatively new Interference acrylics, also by Golden. The color-changing nature of these paints seemingly makes these come to life.
