In the past few decades, women have had to constantly adjust themselves according to specific societal demands. Apart from understanding themselves and developing a sense of self-awareness, women had to constantly adapt to the demands of a society that was ruled by men and perform certain roles that were meant to cater to the needs of the other gender. Historically speaking, the world has not been exactly a haven for those who were not born as male.
However, in recent years, society has slowly become accustomed to the fact that women are equally as competent as men. Women have the power to transcend limitations and defy odds, breaking the seemingly long-held belief of the supremacy of men. As the world continues to evolve into one that embraces gender equality, M. Falconer plans to propagate this revolutionary step by emboldening women to step out of their shells through her distinctive artistry.
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, this empowered artist has been heralded for her impressive portfolio and unique approach to art. From the boldness of her strokes to the breathtaking mix of colors, M. Falconer perfectly conveys her emotions, capturing the attention of thousands of individuals across the globe. Every masterpiece highlights crucial parts of her life that the rising artist endeavors to share with the world.
M. Falconer’s artistic journey has rarely been smooth. In a time when women were expected to do so much more to gain a seat at the table, the emerging artist had to take a path that was far beyond her passion. Thus, she pursued an economics degree at Wilfrid Laurier University with the hopes of becoming an accountant. However, her days as an economics major were filled with dread, which led her to experience depression. This went on for quite some time until she painted a portrait of her mother for Mother’s Day. The endeavor sparked joy and fueled her deep-seated love for the art, so M. Falconer began selling her pieces and giving them as gifts to her friends. The same year, she decided to focus on a career that she was most passionate about and became an artist.
Currently, M. Falconer is an esteemed artist whose approach focuses on art that empowers others, especially women of color. “As a black woman who has seen and witnessed how societal obstacles have affected people of color, I feel that it is my duty to maneuver women to greater heights,” shared the artist. By creating inspirational pop art paintings, she hopes to motivate people, especially women, to feel empowered, represented, hopeful, confident, and loved.
One of M. Falconer’s most poignant collections, her series of paintings titled Love Yourself, serves to remind women that “Self care is the best care”. She aims to inspire women to prioritize self care, become confident and secure in their own skin, and celebrate their individuality. According to the website, where this collection is currently available, ‘This piece was created to remind you of how amazing you are. It boosts your self care needs with a daily reminder to love yourself. There’s nothing more important than loving who you are and being confident in your own skin.’.
As a woman, M. Falconer completely understood what it took for the female population to stand equally with men. Although women have enjoyed this new sense of freedom, the fight for equality is far from over. By continuing to create art that speaks volumes of empowerment, M. Falconer hopes to send a message that feminism is not about making women stronger. Rather, it is about changing the way the world perceives the strength that lies within them.
