A Face Within

So back in 2021 I started experimenting with human faces on canvas and I made a series called "The faces within". It is a rather personal series and was a way of coping with one of my many issues - depression. By the day I have made no new artwork so I just looked around my pile of works "not suitable for the internet" and decided to upload it.

Not the usual ship stuff, but who said a blog has a limit?

(personal rambling) So basically this was to represent all the struggle one has when people in your life come up to you with "Hey what´s wrong?" and instead of giving them a 3 hours lecture of all the things that are going wrong you just block them with a short "I´m fine, everything like ususal."

At a certain point it´s an impossible task to form all the things in your head into words and most times you can´t explain them yourself. Like, you definetly know that things are not alright, but at about half of the time you can´t put those things into words and even more impossible is it to put them into words others can understand.

A lot of us struggle with that and instead of opening up, we just shove all those things inside us, eat them up and hope they stay burried deep inside us.

But time taught us that this does not work - at least not on long term. And sooner or later everything that haunts us of from childhood on will come back for us.

It will come back in form of depression, anxiety, isolation, panic attacks and the sheer incapability to form connections with other humans. The point I´m trying to make here is-

Don´t shove it down. Do not try to play it cool. It is not strenght to burry your issues. Try to find a way to get those emotions out. May it be through music, art, going outside - creating things in gerneral or whatever your body tells you to or just talking to a professional or a loved one.

You might not get the reaction you hoped for... It wont all just magically resolve when you adress the topic one time. But it will make a difference in your path. And it is the beginning of breaking out of your circle of issues. Take care my dear ones and never stop changing♥

( personal ramble finished.)

A collection of different styles

I honestly do not have enrgy to paint these days. Still feeling like shit because all hope went to hell..

But when I do it´s the things I was scared of for so long. Did my very first try on a portrait and more abstract art.... ( honestly eyes and eyebrows creep me the fuck out)
