Scarab Beetle - Original Painting

$1,200.00

12” x 12” acrylic on canvas panel.

The ongoing Bejeweled series was created as a point of reflection. The Scarab beetle is a symbol of rebirth, resurrection, transformation and growth, which is why this series began. You can start over again rebuilding yourself and your life better than you ever hoped. Like the scarab, you can still shine even after being metaphorically buried. You have intrinsic value in this world. Transform the pain into something beautiful that might help others. Don't let anyone make you feel small and worthless, because you're not. You're supposed to be here.

I was in the midst of my divorce after suffering years of emotional and mental abuse, with my body in an almost constant state of survival mode. My value, contributions and sacrifices were neither seen, nor appreciated. My ideas, suggestions and feelings were consistently squashed. For a long time, I didn’t realize my own wants and dreams were just as important as anyone else’s. I fell into a dark pit of depression and was so tired of being looked at like an insect. Then I began to reflect on the topic of insects; what they represent and what their purposes are on this earth. I wanted to see them, really SEE them, up close. They are absolute jewels, wonderfully and creatively made!

The Scarab 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.
