Original artwork description:

Tornado_x000D_ _x000D_ In this painting, the scene is deliberately ambiguous, much like life itself. The swirling, ethereal forms evoke the raw, uncontrollable force of a tornado. The optimist, when looking at the central figure, sees a heroic moment unfolding—a rescue amidst the chaos. They see the outstretched hand, a lifeline pulling her back from the brink, from the void. There is hope, a fragile but undeniable promise of salvation, as if a higher force intervenes in the midst of nature’s fury._x000D_ _x000D_ Yet, for the pessimist, the scene is entirely different. They do not see the act of saving, but rather the inevitable pull of the storm. Both figures, connected by their grasp, are powerless, swept up and carried off by the same ruthless wind. The optimist may believe in salvation, but the pessimist understands the relentless momentum of fate, dragging them both deeper into the abyss._x000D_ _x000D_ Each brushstroke reflects this duality—fluid, uncertain, caught between the light of possibility and the darkness of loss. The question lingers: are they being saved, or simply drawn together into the tempest? The painting doesn’t give answers, because the answers lie within the viewer’s own perspective, revealing how we choose to see the world—full of hope, or lost to despair. 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.
