Monkey Mind #1

Monkey Mind #1

$350.00

Monkey Mind is a satirical piece that portrays the mental state of modern humans, filled with anxiety, distraction, and an inability to stay still and focused. The term "monkey mind" originates from Buddhist tradition, referring to a restless mind that jumps from one thought to another like a monkey, never at peace and without clear direction. In this painting, a fragmented monkey skull is depicted, filled with layers of patterns, symbols, and overlapping objects. Certain eye sections appear partially open, revealing a chaotic inner mind. These elements reflect the distractions from the external world and how they disrupt deep thought processes. The color palette leans toward neutral tones but features sharp contrasts in specific areas, creating visual tension that mirrors mental stress. The composition is deliberately dense and cramped, immersing the viewer in a sense of discomfort, which is a key part of the social critique conveyed by this artwork.
