152cm by 190 cm

PHILOSOPHICAL/ ORIGIN OF FORMS: I achieved this personal painting from my subconscious, the true meaning will only be seen in the final product. The feeling of loss and depression drove me to this painting, and how I have been dealing with it. A strong driver is self medicating. The bottles are symbolic to this and also to a feeling of bottled up emotions, with no release. The bottles are also a representation of myself with in the painting, I am the bottle and the water is my emotions pouring down on me, washing away all of my hopes and dreams. This painting exposes part of my soul which I prefer to keep hidden, but yet is nearly my soul motivator to succeed.

    This is fantastic. The movement and the essence of your painting stirs something within me.

    Something about this image really moves me! Is it the colours, the shapes or the movement? I think it’s all these things… but it touches something deep inside and also makes me think. Great work!!
