"The Art of Getting Out of Your Own Way"

Vernon Adams (b. 1985)

SIZE: 36x48 in

This abstracted-portrait work serves as a visual metaphor for the internal barriers we often create, represented by dynamic layers of color, form, and movement. The composition’s chaotic yet harmonious elements remind us of the beauty that emerges when we let go of self-doubt and perfectionism, allowing creativity and purpose to flow freely. Every stroke invites viewers to reflect on their own journey—how stepping aside from fear, hesitation, or overthinking can lead to powerful breakthroughs.

This piece symbolizes the transformative energy that comes when we stop holding ourselves back, break through the chaos in our own mind and emotion, and let intuition guide us.
