Must I always be strong?
The tiger reminds us that true strength is not about having to fight all the time, but about staying true to ourselves.
The Archetype
The tiger has long been a symbol of inner strength, courage, and self-confidence. Its power does not come from force or struggle, but from a deep presence and trust in its own nature.
This painting emerged through an intuitive and meditative process. Gradually, the woman and the tiger revealed themselves. Together, they form an archetype that asks a question many of us carry within:
Must I always be strong?
We often believe that we have to carry everything on our own, that we must never show weakness, and that we need to be there for everyone else. But true strength does not mean having to function all the time. It begins when we honor our own boundaries, listen to our inner voice, and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
This artwork is a reminder that strength has many faces â and that compassion for ourselves is one of them.

About My Artistic Process
Each of my paintings begins intuitively.
Through meditation, dreams, and my exploration of mythology, nature, animals, and plants, an archetype gradually reveals itself. I donât plan these figures â I accompany their emergence and follow what wants to become visible.
My paintings do not retell ancient myths.
They invite us to remember our own inner wisdom, strength, and connection to nature.
The prints are beautiful and immediately found their place in my home.
It feels like a little gift to myself.
