I made this painting for a project about Cluster Headache (for info [link]).
I was contacted by Al.ce Cluster Europe [link] to create this piece of art for it to be exposed in their art gallery dedicated to such disease.
The coordinator of the forementioned association, Claudio Geraci, requested some paintings for him about the topic, where as the first painting was the burden, this is the pain.

It's amazing. A brief opinion: I think it would be great if it had more little details. I know how wxplosive, intense and strong emotions all of your paintings have. But i think it would be amazing if you tried to detail more the explotions of emotions on your paintings in such way that i seemes more... profound. Try to give life to your explotions in such way that they have something to SCREAM as well! To say. I know you could easily do it if you tried it. You're amazing and I admire you and respect you really strongly.

The first thing that strikes me about this piece, is the fact that the chaos seems to originate from the subjects head - not the mouth where we get the auditory stimulation. This is an incredibly accurate depiction of how the most noise can come from the mind - not the mouth. This is simply my interpretation, but I like the way the subject seems to be either sinking back into the chaos or being sucked back by it. It is eclipsing the eyes of the subject (which tend to be important focal points in emotional pieces) and it shrouds the piece in mystery. The red makes the chaos seem more severe and, in a way, more human because of the way the color could be paralleled with blood. Overall - an incredible piece. As always.

I get cluster headaches and this painting does express quite well how I feel internally in the middle of one.

Very well done - most people don't even believe how painful they are let alone are able to capture it in any medium.

Wonderful to find this artwork now, when this was exactly how my head felt last week.

Great use of mark making and I like how you broke up the black and white (colors) with the red.

When I'm not well, it expresses my anger and my pain better than me... I am so impressed... Thank you for this emotion !

I've seen some crappy abstract art. I've seen artist just randomly spit colors on a page with no vision or passion. This piece goes beyond the restrictions of everyday life and stirs the emotions of the viewer. So..... awesome painting :blushes:
