Fascinating painting – tranquil and beautiful and boom, yours (or the sufferers which could be any of us) in the bottom corner crying. Highlights how no matter what your doing when you are going through a tough time with depression, it may not improve your mood. you nailed it when you said it was chemical and people around you get frustrated because they cant do anything to help. I was reduced to a weeping wreck when I went through my depression/anxiety in 2nd year of university. I’d be in the library trying to get a book and suddenly start struggling to breathe, have a panic attack and collapse crying. Utterly mad experience to go through. I was asked once what was wrong and I said through sobs – I have no idea. Eventually got put on medication, and like yourself tried to come off when feeling much better but returned to square one. Excellent topic to consider and draw.

Como padre – tu padre – la imagen me resulta profundamente movilizadora.
Viendola, siento que tu posibilidad de expresar algo tan dificil de sobrellevar como lo es la depresion es conmovedora.
Asimismo,no encuentro las palabras adecuadas para poder,yo,expresar la angustia que me produce.

Hola Nico,
De verdad estuviste tan jodido? Y ahora? como andas? No estarás extrañando un poco estas tierras? Igual te digo que por acá no anda todo como uno quisiera…El dibujo es simplemente hermoso, no me sorprende tu habilidad y sensibilidad ya que había que ser ciego para no darse cuenta. Mantenete en contacto! Y a ver si algun dia nos encontramos.
Abrazo, Maxi

Oh… I forgot. If you ever paint it on canvas, I hope I get the first chance at buying it. It has a lot of meaning for me as well. Take care.

After reviewing your idea of Expressing the concept of depression through art, I felt compelled to make some comments about it. First about the piece of art itself. Having gone through the same ordeal myself, I feel that not only it is tragically beautiful, but for some reason it depicts in a very deep and direct way, the feelings that one goes through at those VERY difficult times. Added to that, the braveness and effort made to put out in words so simply and yet so openly about what YOU went through, is also remarkable. My best to you,

Alexander Supertramp.
