This is not a painting. It's a heartbeat.
PTSD N°1 was created during a moment of collapse — but what emerged was not despair, but color. Made with trembling hands and quiet rage, this work documents the thin line between holding on and letting go.
Harsh marks, raw strokes, a single pink cheek — every detail carries the weight of surviving when words fail. This piece doesn't explain — it testifies.
This painting is part of Breath of Survival, a 3-part original series born from the unspoken, where every brushstroke is an act of staying alive.
One of a kind. Ready to frame. Created with soul — for a heart that knows the quiet war.
