About this artwork

A Conflict Between Light and Darkness

While creating the artwork “Poppy,” I experienced deep inner conflicts. I painted it during a very difficult period in my life.

The red flower, a symbol of life, passion, and strength, reflected powerful emotions within me — flashes of inspiration and a longing for something unattainable. At the same time, the black paint covering that glow speaks of the weight of loss, a suppressed mind, and fear.

Each brushstroke of black paint feels like an attempt to silence those emotions, to hide them from myself or from the surrounding world. This artwork is a metaphor for an inner struggle — the desire to portray life in all its brilliance while confronting the darkness that consumes the light.

“Poppy” is not merely a painting, but a visual confession revealing vulnerability, strength, and the unresolved conflict within my soul.
