The alienated hero is a figure of hope, fear, strength, and defiance: an image of divinity, even. Throughout his journey, he discovers the complexities of such a state of being, the power of transformation, and a newfound way of experiencing the world. His quest is one of discovery, liberation, and a timeless search to break the barriers of conformity, and to question what it means to be human. The painting will explore both the external and internal aspects of alienation- the colours, composition, and symbolism will represent external aspects such as the tension of leaving the familiar, the uncertainty of the destination, and the dark, brooding energy of leaving one's known state and entering the unknown. Internally, the painting will capture the power and beauty of the hero's inner journey, as isolation can also be an opportunity for profound self-reflection, healing, and reinvention. The painting will become a contemplative and emotive narrative of personal discovery, a celebration of the hero's liberation from normalcy, and a reflection on the potential of the human spirit to challenge and transcend boundaries.

“When I think of something to say, my hand moves automatically, I trust my instincts and it comes naturally. I don’t think about the color and shape, they come by themselves as if they were meant to be.” -Gela Mikava
