numb

Again, it's been a while. I've been painting lately and I'm going to share the result with you. It's a triptych of three self portraits. This is probably one of the most personal things I've ever made, and only a few of my closest friends know what it means. It's partly inspired by the roman saying "inter arma enim silent musae". Which means "in times of war the arts are silent'. I was thinking about putting the saying in the triptych itself, devided over the three canvasses, but decided it would only draw away attention from the portraits itself and disturb the solid areas. So it'll just be the title to the piece =).
