Art with a Story

Her Valiant Soul is an abstract masterpiece that captivates the viewer with its striking combination of golds, black, magenta, purple, and hints of fiery red against a pristine white surface. Created using a harmonious blend of acrylic paint, ink, and oil pastel, this artwork emanates a powerful and vibrant feminine energy that commands attention and evokes a range of emotions.

The composition is an intriguing interplay of bold and delicate elements. The fiery red hue symbolize the intense and passionate nature of a woman's soul. This blazing energy is complemented by the regal gold tones, exuding confidence and strength. These commanding colors stand against the darkness of black, creating a sense of depth and mystery within the artwork.

Amidst the powerful palette, there exists an underlying softness and gentleness that invites contemplation. The presence of magenta and purple hues adds a touch of femininity and grace, lending a delicate balance to the overall composition. The intermingling of these softer shades suggests a profound inner strength, illustrating the resilience and resilience found within a woman's spirit.

The textured brushstrokes and gestural lines add depth and dimension to the artwork. The use of oil pastels introduces a tactile quality, adding richness and complexity to the visual experience. This layering of mediums and techniques further enhances the depth of the painting, engaging the viewer in a captivating exploration of contrasts and intricacies.

Her Valiant Soul not only showcases the fierce and fiery essence of a woman's soul but also celebrates her inherent strength and vulnerability. It serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of femininity, embracing both power and tenderness. This evocative piece invites viewers to reflect upon their own inner strength while embracing the dynamic interplay of emotions that define the feminine experience.

About the Artist

Amanda Stavast Metcalf was born and raised in Colorado. Her desire to create from an early age led her to obtain a BFA from Colorado State University in 1999. After working in graphic design for a few years she decided to focus her creative energy into mural work and started her own company in 2001. Stavast’s murals can be found in both large-scale corporate and residential settings throughout Colorado’s Front Range and Denver Metro area. While she is still commissioned for mural work, in recent years, she has taken a deep dive into traditional paintings on canvas. The pieces she creates come from a deep emotional space. Luckily, she is not constrained to one particular style of work, and that allows her to explore her creativity boundlessly. Each style of work teaches her something about herself. A floral still life allows her to give in to her urge to be perfect. Landscapes teach her to live in the moment and convey tranquility. Conceptual work allows her to get all of the interesting and creative ideas out of her head. Abstracts force her to let go of all expectations and be free. The compilation of these themes makes Amanda the well-rounded artist she is today.

Amanda lives in the Denver Metro area with her husband and four children. She loves wearing the hats of artist, wife, mother, exercise junkie and margarita lover.
