Not long after Anjola and I explored the idea of collaborating, he promptly shared his 3D render. I was taken aback, unsure of where to even commence or what elements to introduce. My gaze remained fixated on the figure peering into the abyss of darkness, a reflection of the void in my own mind when it came to starting this painting.
Ideas don't come fully formed, and this didn't. I started to paint the t-shirt, then gradually, our work began to capture a poignant moment of introspection and cosmic contemplation.
The central figure, a lone man, sits at the precipice of existence, gazing into the abyss. Surrounding him, planetary orbs orbit as embodiments of celestial forces. Through the window, a mesmerizing sunset bathes the scene in warm hues, while a cat rests nearby, a silent observer of this cosmic reverie.
This artwork invites viewers to ponder the relationship between individual consciousness, the vastness of the universe, and the inexorable march of time.
