Turtles and a Crashed Sun

Turtles and a Crashed Sun

A crashed Sun is what I saw one day when I was in a Spiritualistic Center Praying.

I felt so cracked, crushed and this crashed sun appeared, and it was all about that.

Behind this painting there’s a letter to a ex-girlfriend of mine. It’s pretty long and yes, I still love her, besides she not being with me.

Turtle she gave to me in dreams. For some reason.

Yeah I know the reason. She’s all about time. Clocks. Longevity.

Turtles live so much… And they walk slow but can swim so fast.

In this painting this profound and idealistic sense of existence is being confronted with pain, real pain.

I remember this: I started painting this in 2021 when I was cool and had everything under control.
I continued painting and stopped at certain point. Leaving just the turtles unpainted.
I went living on my own but my parents had an eye on me for being too much offensive, violent, even crazy for them.
At last I painted the turtles and wrote the letter behind that I said before.

A couple weeks passed and I was institutionalised.

I just laugh nowadays, but those were some quite serious moments.

I find these turtles swam well under this scary sun, as I am today reaching out good to my ex-girlfriend.
