Original artwork description:

From the series "Deep Down“, inspired by my favorite artist Marina Abramovic especially by her project „body experiments“ and her quote:
„I wanted to explore the borders, I wanted to know how far the audience would go.“

Exactly that made me wonder how people, who already crossed the line meaning murdered or committed an act of violence, would look like.
I wonder what holds us back to cross that line. Is it really only the fear of getting punished?
Do we naturally have two sides? and what evokes that beastly side in us?
That is exactly what I want to display in this series of portraits.

Materials used:

Acrylic, oil on canvas
