RIGHT TO BE DIFFERENT | Original Contemporary Abstract Painting

Original contemporary abstract acrylic painting about ancestral patterns, personal freedom, feminine strength and self-discovery. 40 × 40 cm, 2026.

Right to Be Different is part of Nataly Ustinova’s conceptual series New Rights for Women in the 21st Century, exploring the freedom to question inherited social, family and relationship patterns and consciously choose one’s own way of living.

The painting is built from an intense interplay of deep burgundy, crimson red, green, violet, black and luminous passages. Interwoven organic forms create the impression of a living system — multiple lines, histories and forces converging around a central movement.

The work explores an often unconscious human pattern: repeating the lives of those who came before us as an expression of love, loyalty or belonging.

Ustinova approaches ancestry not as something to reject, but as a source that can contain both strength and limiting patterns. Recognising inherited experiences allows the individual to honour where they come from without being required to repeat it.

In this sense, Right to Be Different becomes a visual symbol of permission and transformation: to acknowledge the past, give it its place, and choose a different path.

For the artist, the work carries the emotional presence of a cross or devotional icon — not as a religious object, but as a symbol of support, hope, protection and blessing for a new choice.

The painting is created for a collector drawn to contemporary art with psychological and symbolic depth. It can become a powerful visual anchor for a private interior — a reminder that changing an inherited pattern does not mean betraying those who came before.

The message is simple: you can love where you come from and still become someone different.
