'Look Up'
Acrylic on Canvas, framed (black)
30cm x 30cm
This painting centres Peta — a 4'8" force of nature whose body, presence, and unapologetic selfhood challenge traditional power dynamics and aesthetics. A competitive powerlifter, she moves with ease between hyperfeminine and masculine-coded spaces, never bending to the expectations of the male gaze — but instead existing in defiance of it. And profiting from it.
The upward angle of the composition is deliberate. As a 6'1" artist, I would normally be looking down — yet here, the viewer is invited to submit. To look up. Peta’s power is not just physical; it’s psychological, cultural, and commanding. The full, visible line of her pubic hair, peeking confidently above her bikini, isn’t a provocation — it’s a refusal. A refusal to apologise for body, power, or presence.
She is not ornamental. She is the standard. What’s sexier than a woman who owns everything about herself?
