Running From That Pain. Yes! You Know Who You Are!

Running From That Pain is a powerful reflection on Ana Violeta Horta's personal journey with multiple sclerosis. Through sustainable pigments and plant-based mediums, the piece expresses the tension between chronic physical pain and the unwavering drive to create.

While her body imposes limits, Horta chooses to move beyond them, letting passion become her form of resistance and healing. The artwork reveals swirling, fragmented forms that echo both vulnerability and strength, showing that even in struggle there is beauty and purpose.

Pain is acknowledged, but it does not define the work. Instead, this piece becomes a visual declaration: that creativity can be a refuge, a rebellion, and a reminder of who we are beyond our suffering.
