Gas Mask Art
48" x 36 " (122 x 91.5 cm)
Original fine artwork on canvas 100% hand painted
"Don’t Hold Your Breath" is an expressive self-portrait that embodies resilience and self-preservation. In this close-up painting, I depict myself with a gas mask covering my face, eyes wide and intense as I hold the mask with my hands. The mask serves as a symbol of protection, portraying moments when we are forced to shield ourselves from external pressures or environments that stifle our ability to breathe freely—whether physically or metaphorically.
The title "Don’t Hold Your Breath" reinforces the message that one should not remain in a state of suspended anticipation or fear. Instead, it urges movement, action, and perseverance, even in the face of constraint. The vibrant colors and bold strokes bring urgency and life to the piece, emphasizing both vulnerability and strength.
This painting is created with professional-grade acrylics on high-quality canvas, extending around all four sides for a frameless, immersive display. Signed, dated, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, this original work ensures its value as a unique piece of fine art.
