Oil on canvas | 45×80cm | 2024
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
Scars portrays a young woman seen from behind, arms wrapped around her own body in a gesture that is neither defensive nor self-comforting, but something in between. Her face is partially obscured, her mouth hidden by the curve of her shoulder; yet her eyes look directly at the viewer, calm and exposed. The skin on her back bears visible scars, subtle yet undeniable marks of past wounds.
The composition speaks in contradictions: the embrace is soft, but the body is marked; the gaze is vulnerable, yet unflinching. With no background but shadow, all attention falls on her posture, her skin, and the complex tension between concealment and confrontation.
The scars are not sensationalized, they are integrated into the texture of the figure, like memories etched into flesh. Scars becomes a portrait not of pain, but of endurance. Of someone who has decided to be seen exactly as she is.
