Auditory Hallucination
Acrylic on Canvas
This figurative piece plunges the viewer into a state of profound psychological unease. The figure’s body language is one of collapse or surrender, yet the enormous, gaping maw implies a forceful expulsion of feeling. The electric blue cavity of the mouth serves as the painting’s emotional and visual vortex. The palette of bruised purples and energetic pinks against the sickly yellow-brown ground creates a visceral tension, suggesting a mind overwhelmed by internal noise or pain, where the physical form seems to be vibrating apart under the pressure of an overwhelming, inexpressible sound.
