I'll be displaying my oil painting "Obliviosi" at Haven Gallery from February to March. "Obliviosi" is a very personal painting for me. It is framed in a glossy black ornate frame. Here is a preview of the painting and my meaning behind it:

With this painting I tried to capture the feeling of losing my 14 year old brother to a brain tumour. His tumour was called "DIPG", it's an inoperable tentacle-like tumour that targets children and slowly cuts off their brain so over the course of a year they lose their functions while being cognitive until they pass away. No one has survived this tumour. I was so sure he would pull through because we tried everything and I had the notion that he'd be the first kid to survive, having never experienced death before, I was naive and wrapped up in my own life, blindfolded. His death was a painful reminder of time lost and his illness happened so randomly and affected so many that I am always reminded that it can all be over anytime. I wanted to capture the confusion, dark beauty and sadness of those last moments. My Mom started a fundraiser called "Butterfly Kisses", in my brother's name, to help kids with brain tumours, the logo is a butterfly which I designed.
