Anxiety is Not real

Anxiety is Not Real (16x12 in.) is a raw and intense exploration of emotion, painted entirely with the artist's fingers over seven focused hours. The piece features four faces, each expressing different emotional states, rendered in cool tones of blue, green, and yellow, contrasted by the underlying black undertones that add depth and complexity. The chaotic background of red, orange, and green further amplifies the sense of turmoil, with finger-painted strokes conveying the uncontrolled nature of anxiety. This striking piece challenges the notion of anxiety as an insurmountable force, asserting that while it may feel overwhelming, it is not inherently real. The visceral texture and use of color invite the viewer to engage with the messy, raw experience of emotional conflict, emphasizing both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit.
