Peacock offers a glimpse into Miryam's connection to her environment, her craft, and her perception of nature. Arriving as an immigrant in 2013, she immersed herself in painting, using the canvas to explore new artistic avenues. With limited work options, her tenacity flourished. The tiger in the piece represents her artistic prowess, embodying the fierce determination needed to succeed in Los Angeles' competitive tattoo scene. Meanwhile, the delicate peacock feathers framing the composition symbolize her vulnerability as a young woman of color, navigating a new world.

Miryam dedicated over 2 years to creating Peacock. She used traditional oil painting techniques and applied her tattooing precision to every stroke. She built depth and texture layer by layer by layer, using classic methods like glazing, underpainting, and blending. Her patience and focus on craftsmanship resulted in a piece that feels both timeless and modern.

Peacock is available in multiple sizes as an acrylic print.
