on the inside

oils on canvas this is a companion piece to "on the outside." this is how i feel inside. dark and wild, crazy (i'm bi-polar), disturbing, hateful, dramatic.

this means a lot to me. it's about my identity. i didn't know how i would express my idea and i thought of the emotions i feel above and just started painting. this is what came pouring out. i felt driven to paint it and it was a bit of a shock, it turned out almost violent.

the second part of the set of two paintings, "on the outside." which can be found here
