Denial

A topic and painting that had been waiting a long time to take form — Denial — something we all face in life, whether we know it or not.⁠
⁠
It often operates in silence, hidden deep in the psyche, subtly shaping our choices and holding us back.⁠
⁠
This piece began unconsciously. I didn’t plan to paint denial — but it emerged. The head you see in profile formed itself, distorted and abstracted, almost as if denial didn’t want to be seen.⁠
⁠
To move past denial, one must first break through it. Not gently — but with rebellion, clarity, and courage. Only then can we start to see what we’ve been denying ourselves: the truth, the life, the freedom waiting on the other side.⁠
⁠
This painting is dedicated to that moment — the rupture, the resistance, and the release. To everything we keep buried, and everything we’re finally ready to face.”
