Patient does not depict a specific individual, but rather a psychological condition.
Faces are repeatedly covered by hands; eyes are concealed, identities blurred. Heavy, dark brushstrokes create a sense of pressure and confinement, while flashes of yellow and orange suggest a pulse of life that refuses to disappear.
The natural diffusion of ink and color on paper softens boundaries between figure and environment. Suppression and vitality coexist within the same surface.
This work reflects on psychological tension, collective anxiety, and emotional restraint in contemporary society.
The 60 × 60 cm square format creates a concentrated visual impact, making it a powerful statement piece within a modern interior setting.
