Original artwork description:

Blindfolded Truth is a striking exploration of perception, control, and unseen realities. The subject’s piercing gaze, partially obscured by a bold red band, challenges the viewer—what is hidden, and what is revealed? The contrast of hyper-realistic details with expressive, raw brushstrokes amplifies the tension between clarity and distortion, sight and blindness.

The deep crimson hues streaking across the face evoke themes of restriction, censorship, or resilience in the face of oppression. The composition suggests a battle between vulnerability and defiance, with the red mask-like element becoming both a shield and a mark of confrontation.

This powerful piece provokes reflection on personal and societal narratives—what we choose to see, what is forced upon us, and what remains unspoken.
