“Work” by Leo Pantas (colored pencil)

Inspiration: I had just done a research project about a Spanish-speaking artist and my pick was Salvador Dalí. I learned that he was a VERY eccentric person and that his style of art was surrealism, and his art embodies surreal to a T. I liked how weird he was and decided to make something surreal myself.

Its Meaning: I called it “Work” because it’s meant to symbolize how many things are revolving around me and how I feel about it. There’s always something weighing me down and I have to kick that away while keeping track of other stuff. Even then, there always seems to be something that slips through the cracks and it stabs me in the back and sometimes spills out of control. The goal is to try and convey being overwhelmed.
