In a world that often seems enveloped in shades of gray, the vibrant yellow coat adorned by Amanda Gorman at the presidential inauguration brought a splash of hope and inspiration, a vivid reminder of the beauty and brilliance that still exists and flourishes. This artwork, my largest portrait to date, is a humble tribute to a woman who embodies grace, intelligence, and the transformative power of words. The inspiration behind this piece is as vibrant and multifaceted as the subject herself. Amanda Gorman, a beacon of wisdom and beauty, has not only captured the hearts of many but also fits seamlessly into my ongoing theme of "yellow moths". Her appearance at the Moth Grand Slam stands as a testament to her poetic prowess and aligns perfectly with the thematic elements of transformation and light that are central to this series. As you immerse yourself in this oil painting, I hope you feel a sense of connection and inspiration, akin to the fluttering wings of yellow moths, symbolizing transformation and the gentle power of words taking flight, much like the paper planes depicted in the artwork. The yellow coat, a central element, serves as a beacon of hope, a bright spot in a world that is in dire need of light and positivity. In the creation of this piece, I chose oil as the medium to bring depth and texture to the portrait, allowing the vibrant hues to resonate profoundly, echoing the depth of Amanda's poem "Call Us What We Carry": We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another We seek harm to none and harmony for all Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: That even as we grieved, we grew That even as we hurt, we hoped That even as we tired, we tried ― Amanda Gorman In crafting this portrait, I joined the ranks of many who have found inspiration in Amanda's words. It is a celebration of her spirit, a nod to her intellect, and an acknowledgment of the bright flame she carries, igniting hope and fostering unity in times of despair.

Jules Kunhardt, born in Paris, France, and currently splitting her time between Grasse, Côte d'Azur, France, and Chicago, is a German artist with a rich and varied background in fine arts, graphic design, and illustration. She has carved a unique space for herself in the contemporary art world. With a body of work that spans across various mediums and themes, Jules masterfully blends her personal and global experiences to create evocative, thought-provoking pieces that challenge viewers to reflect on the world around them. One of the defining characteristics of Jules' work is her ability to tackle a wide range of subjects with grace, humor, and a keen eye for detail. From classic children's portraits to hard-hitting social commentaries, Jules's pieces are united by a common thread: a desire to give importance to her subjects while maintaining a sense of hope and playfulness. A recurring theme in Jules' work is her love for chickens, roosters, and goats. She frequently returns to these subjects with drawings and paintings inspired by the animals she used to have in her backyard. Jules describes them as "whimsical subjects, amusing creatures, and easy to depict because they're expressive and more lighthearted than, say, a horse." Jules' work showcases her training as a graphic designer and her affinity for lines and shapes. Her various techniques include the use of superfine ink pens and broad oil color sticks, which she employs to strike a delicate balance between simplicity and playfulness in her pieces.
