Opium Dream of the Grotesque
Acrylic on Canvas
This deeply unsettling and surreal painting explores themes of psychic distress, transformation, and the primal self. The composition features an androgynous, contorted human figure rendered in a fiery yellow-orange palette, entangled with a dark, demonic-looking figure or mask.The concept is a visual manifestation of a psychological struggle or an emotional burden. The red, spiky entity that crowns the human figure’s head acts as a symbol of pain, aggression, or a consuming inner turmoil.
