In this original figurative painting, I pay homage to the artists and visionaries who have shaped my creative journey. Drawing inspiration from Paul Gauguin’s bold use of colour and symbolism, I blend these influences with my own exploration of emotional depth and vulnerability. The piece portrays creatures caught in chaos—falling elephants and horrified monkeys—as symbols of fragility and conflict. Through this tribute, I reflect on how these artistic legacies continue to guide my expression of complex, raw emotions.
