Identity Crisis

This artwork is an abstract expression of the artist’s inner world –his inner mind– utilising surrealistic elements and rich contrasting colors.

The artwork consists of various shapes and forms, lines and curves, to create a dynamic and harmonious composition.

The colors used in the artwork are mainly red, brown and gray neutral tones, with a touch of green and blue for the irises.

The main feature of this piece is that organs connect together outside of the traditional head space. The postition of the heart is transposed with that of the brain. Thus, the artwork is a reflection of the artist’s inner imagination, creativity and passion, as well as their deepest thoughts and feelings being externalised.

The artwork invites the viewer to explore the meaning and symbolism behind these colours, shapes and organs, and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this abstract art.

This artwork is a continuation of a series on internal human organs. Other artworks in this series include inanimate objects, but this artwork only includes facial features and organs, because it is a portrait.

It’s the first intentional portrait, based on another work (which was somewhat accidental in nature).
