Battle for my soul

When I started the painting “Battle for my soul,” the richness of the deep red paint coupled with the Mars black quite quickly reminded me of my battle to keep my sanity during the worst times of my schizophrenia, and so I integrated the lighter yellows and fleshy pink colours to depict my humanity, my frailty as well as bravery and to remember the place I have in Our Saviour’s heart.

Also the placement of those colours, I think stand as a platform to balance and support the stand I have made to choose my medication over my illness, I am stronger for it, which now I am very grateful for.
