For me, creating this painting opened a new way of approaching art. Not only did I begin combining multiple pieces to create a large painting. I also discovered a new passion for patterns and the process of thoughts in a visual manner.There is a constant play of opposite colors in my work. Purple is paired with yellow and blue is with orange to create an effect of movement resembling the evolution of thoughts through a visual language.

The progression:

I was exploring the internet and I stumbled upon a photo of a drawing that is indicated below. Looking at this image I imaged a new world beyond his head. I thought that it would be amazing to see the after thought of this man. I wanted to express a sign of distress and misery through the separated canvases and the  juxtaposition of colors and rough patterns.
