ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Series: RED ACCENT He wears a striking red crown, which immediately draws attention and symbolizes power, authority, or perhaps even the facade of success and joy. His expression, however, contrasts sharply with the regal headpiece. His eyes are heavy, filled with quiet sorrow, while his lips form a faint, bittersweet smile, hinting at the emotional weight he carries beneath the crown. The crown's bright red color symbolizes passion or strength, but in this context, it feels almost ironic—he is burdened by it rather than empowered. The blue background adds depth to the scene, evoking calmness and sadness, while also contrasting the red crown, further highlighting the tension between happiness and sadness. His posture is neutral, almost resigned, as if he's accustomed to wearing this mask of happiness while concealing his true emotions. The lighting is soft, casting gentle shadows on his face, allowing the viewer to focus on the contrast between the external symbols of happiness and the inner turmoil etched. Acrylic and oil pastel on hardboard. This is an original painting, signed and dated on the back side. Colors may vary depending on your monitor.
