Acrylic Painting: She's back- Comments and Progress Pictures

Acrylic on Cardboard, A2 Format

Commentary

I believe we've all got some part of darkness in us. A demon we have to deal with. At some points of our lives it may be more present than at other parts. Perhaps we manage to keep it under control most of the time. But there may come a time in which we are not able to control it and it re-emerges. 

This painting dealt with such emotions. The raven is a symbol of this darkness. The individual stares back at us, she knows what is coming. she can feel the presence of this bird, clawed into her back.

Thanks for reading!
