"Jazzz"

Acrylic and oil pastel on paper.

Premonition, watercolor (background), colored pencils (creatures), collage.

One of my latest works. I was inspired by…primarily the news of recent years and the depressed and anxious mood of humankind, which is acutely felt and visible. And of which I am a part.

The black creature embodies the harbinger of some impending doom. As if we've awakened some cruel ancient god. It hasn't crawled out yet, but it's awake. And everyone feels it. The larvae simply symbolize the accompanying emotions.
