Good pain, it means I can't be phased. This painting was inspired by the song 'Goodpain' by Yoke Lore. One night I came across this song and it spoke to me in a very special way. The lyrics and overall composition was a reminder that pain can be our best friend. It's a reminder that without experiencing struggle, there is no growth. Without growth, we stay complacent and become lost in the past. After finishing this painting, I felt as if the aggressive style reflected these pains. The bright colors hidden throughout the piece represent the breakthrough that we experience from hard times. It's good pain, it doesn't phase us, it propels us.
