Expressive Portrait of a young girl with traditional elements, acrylic on canvas, original artwork by Jenni Julie

Mathilda as an Indian Girl

Acrylic on canvas

150 x 100 cm

About this painting: 

This portrait shows my daughter in a powerful, symbol-laden depiction as an “Indian Girl.” The red feather headdress – traditionally a sign of strength and spiritual connection – meets a modern, graphic background in shades of pink and red, composed of countless dots that give the painting rhythm and depth.

Above her head, a white dove symbolizes peace and hope – a quiet contrast to the direct, almost defiant gaze of the young woman.

This piece was created after my daughter survived a severe accident. For me, it stands for life – for her incredible strength, her will to survive, and the courage to move forward. It’s a deeply personal work that brings together femininity, resilience, and inner peace.
