DISTORTED FACE, 2024
120 cm x 80 cm x 3,5 cm
Acrylic and enamel on canvas

“DISTORTED FACE” presents a powerful exploration of fear and internal conflict. The distorted face, fragmented and contorted, expresses intense emotional distress through chaotic lines and forms. Each erratic stroke and sharp contour intensifies the sense of disarray, reflecting the psychological impact of external forces that often warp our sense of self.

The chaotic lines that define the face symbolize the turbulence within the mind, where overwhelming emotions such as fear, anxiety, and confusion can distort one’s identity. The work explores how external pressures—whether societal, personal, or environmental—can infiltrate our psyche, causing a disconnect between who we are and how we see ourselves.

The use of high-quality acrylics and enamel on a premium Italian-made canvas allows for vibrant contrast and texture, emphasizing the emotional intensity of the piece. The distorted expression serves as a visual metaphor for how external influences can distort our inner world, leaving us trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and fear.

“DISTORTED FACE” invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between our surroundings and our emotional well-being. It speaks to the vulnerability of the human condition and the ways in which fear and anxiety can take root, reshaping our perception of reality and self. This painting is a poignant reminder of the internal battles we face, highlighting the profound impact our environment can have on our sense of identity.
