Disdain |
Abstract Canvas Print from Original Oil Painting
by Nicole McNamara

Rage, restrained. A fierce portrait of being dismissed, silenced, and still holding your ground.

You know that look — the one dripping with condescension and smug superiority. The one that makes your blood boil and your jaw clench. "Disdain" is the moment you want to scream, “You stupid f**king asshole,” but instead, you sit in silence. Again.

Part of the "She Who Feels Deeply" collection, this painting speaks toThis painting is rage, wrapped in control. It’s the exhausting mental gymnastics of knowing you’re right but being forced to play small — because saying it out loud would make "you" the problem. It’s about being dismissed, shut down, looked down upon… and still expected to smile and behave.

Painted from the maddening space between fury and fear, "Disdain" carries the heat of unspoken truth — and the steel of restraint. If you’ve ever swallowed your truth to keep the peace, you already know what this feels like.

"She Who Feels Deeply" collection, each "Disdain" print is made to order — a conscious rejection of mass production in favor of art that carries meaning. We don’t sit on inventory. We create your piece when you choose it. That’s why it ships within five business days — fresh, intentional, and yours alone.

"Rage wrapped in control — the fury you’re punished for if you speak it out loud."

FOR THOSE THAT REFUSE TO BE TALKED DOWN TO

The Mood This Palette Creates

Every shade in this piece is chosen with intention — to shift the energy of your space, spark emotion, and remind you of what’s possible every time you walk past it.

Strong directional strokes and layered tension create a sense of heat under pressure — anger contained but unmistakable.
Subtle areas of breathing space amplify the feeling of what’s unsaid, while tighter, more condensed passages suggest clenched-jaw restraint.
The overall composition moves like a held-back wave — energy pulled tight, refusing to disappear.
