This original work, «Pull yourself together», was created by contemporary Russian artist Inna Shipilova and is available for purchase online.

Inna Shipilova's painting «Pull yourself together» is a powerful and provocative piece that invites reflection on the nature of identity, inner struggle, and the complexities of self-perception. The artist uses bold techniques to convey the state of a person trying to cope with inner chaos.

The central motif of the painting is two geisha figures, fragmented as if shattered like a broken mirror. This deconstruction of the image is key. The figures are not whole; they consist of separate strips, each with its own perspective and lighting. This approach emphasizes the fragmentation of personality and the disjointed sense of self that can arise during moments of intense stress or inner conflict.

The background features a repeating pattern of stylized waves rendered in vivid blue tones. This element, referencing Japanese aesthetics, contrasts with the human figures. The wavy pattern may symbolize the external world that continues its life despite the person's inner experiences, or it may represent the relentless flow of time moving forward.

The faces of the heroines reflect deep inner work. One looks downward, her gaze full of sadness and fatigue. The other, turned away from us, seems lost in her thoughts. Their poses and facial expressions speak of struggle, of an attempt to pull themselves together and overcome inner turmoil. The bright green kimonos, despite the fragmentation, add dynamism and color accents to the painting but cannot hide the inner tension.

The title «Pull yourself together» adds an additional layer of meaning, hinting at a call for resilience and overcoming difficulties. This is a painting about how a person tries to restore their wholeness when external and internal circumstances tear them apart. Inna Shipilova creates a work that evokes strong emotions, prompting the viewer to reflect on their own moments of inner struggle and the strength needed to «pull themselves together» again.

This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.

You can buy the «Pull yourself together» painting online, sized 100 x 80 cm, with secure delivery to your specified address.

Geishas are intelligent, talented, beautiful women whose image is tarnished and stained by everyday life. 
The way one has to split oneself into parts to fit into society.
