The painting depicts a striking portrait of an enigmatic figure, poised between two contrasting worlds. The canvas is dominated by the visage of a man whose identity seems to be split between two distinct personas. On one side of his face, the features are painted with the exaggerated colours and whimsical exaggerations of a clown, complete with a bright red nose, exaggerated smile. The other half of his face is depicted with the sharp lines and sober tones of a businessman. His expression is serious, framed by a neatly combed hairstyle and composed demeanor. This side exudes an air of professionalism, determination, and perhaps a hint of restraint. The duality of the man's identity is further emphasized by his attire. His upper body is adorned with a colorful, polka-dotted and shaped clown costume, complete with ruffled collar and oversized buttons. However, as the eye moves to the right, the costume seamlessly transitions into a sleek, well-tailored suit, symbolizing the trappings of corporate life and conformity. The man is enclosed within a box, perhaps representing the constraints and limitations imposed by societal expectations and norms. Yet, even within this confine, he manages to transcend categorization, embracing both the playful spontaneity of the clown and the disciplined professionalism of the businessman. The juxtaposition of these elements invites viewers to contemplate the complex interplay between individual identity, societal expectations, and the inherent tension between conformity and self-expression.

I have always had an affinity for art, but only realised my dream at the age of 35 when I became a full time artist. I am extremely passionate and love the thrill of creating an artwork and making it come alive. I enjoy seeing the painting become real in the eyes of the beholder and speak to their very soul. Whether it is a portrait of a person or of an animal or the crashing of the sea on a seascape, or an elephant walking through the wild grass, I endeavor to transport the art lover to that world.
