Stop Denying is a powerful exploration of identity, self-perception, and the internal struggle between positivity and negativity. The abstract portrait features a figure whose face is split into two distinct sides: one side radiates light, clarity, and positivity, while the other is engulfed in darker, chaotic tones, representing doubt, negativity, and internal conflict. The fluidity of the brushstrokes suggests a constant shift between these opposing forces, as though the figure is continuously transitioning from one state to the other.

The vibrant use of color — with rich reds, deep blues, and yellows — heightens the emotional tension between the two contrasting aspects of the figure. The figure’s face seems to be in perpetual motion, reflecting the mental struggle many experience in confronting their own conflicting thoughts and emotions. The phrase "Stop Denying" serves as a call to face these dualities, to stop suppressing one’s truth, and to embrace the complexity of the self without judgment.

Through Stop Denying, Vandamme invites viewers to reflect on the push and pull of internal conflicts and the journey toward self-acceptance, where growth comes from embracing both light and dark aspects of who we are.
