“Real men don’t cry. Real men don’t talk about their feelings. They are not allowed to feel true emotions.” That’s a tragic reason why we lose those real men in real life. Nothing is more horrible than losing a loved one who was raised by these words, who was not allowed by society to be warm and open about their hardships. I’ve kept losing people that way since I was a child. This painting represents this horrible way of life. ‘Loss for words’ 18x24cm Oils on canvas.
