Mens Fracta

A study of mental fragmentation—not as collapse, but as restructuring. Shapes and colors forming a mind in transition.

Men’s Fracta is one of my most recent oil paintings, created through a free-flowing approach where perfection is not the point. Up close, every brushstroke, drip, and irregular edge is visible—nothing is hidden. Yet from a distance, the composition resolves into something seemingly precise, as if the structure was always intentional. This tension between rawness and cohesion mirrors the inner process the piece explores.

This loose, open way of painting has kept my connection to the craft alive. Allowing smudges, drips, and visible strokes has made painting more enjoyable and honest for me. When I let go and follow the energy that moves through the work, the painting becomes less about control and more about expression. Men’s Fracta carries that freedom on its surface.
