Payment



This is a painting I started in 2010 and just never finished. I came so close but just lost momentum due to other projects yet I constantly find myself going back and reflecting upon it. In many ways its a self portrait as well as an illustration about fear playing such a strong role in our lives. I wanted to portray the idea that any minute could be your last. If you are constantly living in fear your life will pass you by and you'll be blinded to opportunities, people, and events that come your way. In the painting the coins are taped to the eyes in preparation to pay the ferry man on the river styx if the figure is to meet his untimely demise as well as act as a blinding device that is always present. Perhaps I shall finish one day soon!
