The term ‘Great Depression’ has always fascinated me, prompting contemplation on how to better express the world’s devastating impact on the human psyche.

The overwhelming sensation of being ensnared in circumstances beyond our control, or simply burdened by the weight of existence, fractures my spirit into a million pieces. It feels like suffocation, each breath a struggle against an invisible force, leaving me yearning for release.

In this turmoil, I find solace in creation. Each brushstroke pours out my inner thoughts and emotions, evolving into shapes, colors, and forms on the canvas before me. It’s a cathartic process, as painting becomes a conduit for pent-up feelings.

From this emotional turmoil emerges the Monster series—a deeply introspective exploration of the darkest recesses of the human mind. Each artwork reflects my inner struggles, serving as a visual representation of the battles I face daily.

Yet, amidst the chaos, there’s also beauty. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, each piece of art is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a beacon of hope in a bleak world.

As I journey through self-discovery, uncertainty looms. How many pieces will comprise the Monster series? How long will it endure? These questions linger, unanswered.

But one thing is certain—we’re not alone. Together, we’ll uncover the mysteries of the human psyche, one brushstroke at a time. Join me in this voyage of self-understanding and enlightenment through creation.
