CMYK XXIV (Royal Family)

The evil king

The evil king

The piece depicts the king with an evil appearance, using the abstraction of CMYK colors to create a powerful visual impact. His figure is adorned with touches of gold on the neck and face, emphasizing his status, but also suggesting emotional coldness and a disconnection from his surroundings. This king personifies the pressures of the paternal figure who must account for every act of the kingdom, carrying the weight of difficult decisions on his shoulders.

His vacant expression reflects the sacrifice and misunderstanding he often faces, a solitary leader who represents the dark side of family leadership. The work invites the viewer to question the complexity of family dynamics, where the most sacrificed is often the least appreciated.

This piece challenges traditional notions of royalty, becoming a visual commentary on the loneliness and expectations that come with power.
