The painting is finished with a semi-gloss coat, which adds a subtle luster and protects the artwork. It is framed in a white floating frame.

This piece portrays a gorilla whose presence radiates strength, wisdom, experience, and quiet kindness. Its honest, fierce eyes draw you in — a reminder of the deep power we each carry within.

When I look at this work, the song “Titanium” comes to mind, echoing the resilience and inner courage I see in this figure. The painting began in a dark place, with chaotic scribbles and energetic strokes, but over time those layers evolved into this form — a symbol of growth, perseverance, and emerging from darkness into light.
