Original artwork description:

“In The Simulation Everything and Nothing is Possible”_x000D_ _x000D_ This painting, 1.5m x 1.1m in oil on canvas, reflects the layered experience of living between waking and dreaming, guided by the frenetic yet controlled rhythm of brushstrokes shaped by my REM intrusions. The work evolved organically, with images emerging and dissolving as though they were part of a simulation—a fleeting, chaotic reality. At its heart, the piece examines the ego and the pointlessness of self-importance. What would we do, and how would we feel, if we knew we were part of a simulation? It questions the grandiose weight we place on ourselves and the narratives we construct to maintain a sense of significance._x000D_ _x000D_ The fragmented forms, scattered text, and abstract roses reflect the overlapping visuals of a dream-like state, while the central face, enveloped in cool blues, suggests both presence and detachment. The title, “In The Simulation Everything and Nothing is Possible,” speaks to the paradox of existence—a space where infinite potential meets profound uncertainty. This painting invites the viewer to explore not only the nature of reality but also the fragile constructs of identity and self-importance that define it. I’m a London-based artist, and my work often reflects vivid and surreal imagery inspired by my unique experience with REM intrusion—a condition where dream-like visions can appear while I’m awake. My paintings explore the boundary between waking reality and the dream world, using layered compositions to create a sense of depth and movement. I paint with high-quality materials and put a lot of thought into texture and detail. My process is a mix of intuitive brushwork and deliberate layering, aiming to create pieces that are rich in emotion and invite you to see something new each time you look at them. This piece will be carefully packaged using protective materials and dispatched via a tracked courier. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
