Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition 2026 | Opening Night in London

The most exciting thing in the world is to spot talent, but also to be able to say that to somebody else. It's, yeah, that's magic. It's sometimes quite a rare thing to catch, but when you do, it's extra special. It makes portrait painting so important and relevant today as it's always been and today we're coming from the Royal Society of Portrait Painters here in London, the annual exhibition of of 2026 here at Mall Galleries in London. the blood of the lamb and I do have two interpretations for it. The first one is more on the religious side. So growing up as a Catholic, as a Christian, I'm dedicating this painting to Jesus Christ. So it actually symbolizes me being washed by the blood of Christ. So like being washed by pure love. But I am aware that other people may belong to other religions or may not even belong to any type of religion. But for me personally. It should not matter because I feel like we all belong to one faith as long as our hearts are all being moved by love and by kindness. So the second interpretation is a more personal one and it shows the symbolism of being washed by the pure intention. to follow your passion in life so in my case it is art through painting and as you can see the figures left hand is like raised it symbolizes me being a left-handed artist and some blood flowing on her hand it symbolizes life so red blood symbolizes life so it's like as i create my painting as i paint my soul works and breathe some some light into each painting that i create I aim to make a connection to people who would look at my work and hopefully create this ripple effect of inspiring them to also follow their passion in life.
