INSPIRATION

This painting is inspired by the experiences of fellow artists and the challenges we face—struggles that are often misunderstood by others. For many, the studio becomes a sanctuary, a space where emotions are poured onto the canvas, offering healing and solace.

“Therapy” explores themes of inner turmoil and mental health in the life of an artist. The composition depicts an artist grappling with emotional distress, seeking temporary relief through smoking and long hours in the studio. The use of dark tones and a disordered studio environment reflects the chaos within his mind, while the artworks on the walls symbolize the weight of creativity and the relentless pressure to produce.

At its core, art serves as a form of therapy—a way to externalize emotions, confront personal struggles, and ultimately find healing through self-expression. This piece captures the profound connection between creativity and emotional resilience, illustrating how the act of painting can become a path to inner peace.
