Running Man, 2010
Watercolors
This painting portraits a man running through the city during morning twilight. It’s the blue moment, when the street lights are just about to fade and the night is turning into day. The man has made the mistake of stopping just for a while, taking a breath from everything in his life and only in that moment has he realized how truly scared he is when standing still. So he picks up his feet and keeps on running. That’s all he does for now.
Later on I painted a sequel for this painting. Undo portraits the same man later on his journey; unable to fulfill the empty spots in his life, to make up for his mistakes or to find the answers he needs, he buries himself in to the sand to escape from the anxiety.
