New York

Measures: 70 x 70 cm

"New York" captures the raw, unfiltered essence of a character whose presence resonates with rebellion and introspection. This piece combines the grittiness of urban street art with a vivid color palette, embodying the complexity of human emotions—defiance, vulnerability, and chaos—set against a backdrop of graffiti-inspired textures.

As I painted this work, I delved into the darker aspects of the human psyche and the masks we wear in a relentless urban environment. The intensity of the gaze reflects a yearning for understanding amidst a world that often feels isolating and unforgiving. The cigarette smoke curling upwards symbolizes fleeting moments of clarity and the resilience needed to endure.

This artwork invites viewers to confront their own struggles and embrace their individuality within the chaos of modern life. Owning "New York" is an invitation to celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the unyielding spirit of survival.
