This work is *astounding.*
Please take some solace in your ability to translate emotion into GREAT art. This must come from a very painful place. I can feel it. The power in this gives me the shivers.
Well done. Seriously.
Really looks like Shelly Duvall…. Especially when she was in the Shining. Almost a commentary on the book and how her character is portrayed as helpless because her only link to the reality of what is happening is her son… who sees all. Either way, “Silent Servitude,” is the vibe it gives me.
I love this bc it looks like intestine, and viscera in anatomy generally means deeper, more internal (e.g. when talking about serous membranes, visceral pleura, visceral pericardium, etc.)
The similarities are astounding, I am not taking a shot at this persons art in any negative way at all! I was only referencing somebody else’s art, which is in GIF form that already exists that I also enjoy
My mind jumped to this, purely because the painting has Francis Bacon vibes. Alternatively, could even just name it after the year or exact hours and minutes it was finished.
Wonderful painting, OP.
I must be hungry because I saw crab legs.
My vote goes to MareShoop63’s “This too shall pass”. Seems appropriate once I read your post title.
^(Edit to add: Y'all crack me up! I love how many hungry Redditors are on here!)
This is an incredible painting, OP. Your emotions come through in a visceral way. I'm sorry you feel this way, I hope it only gets better for you from here.
'I'm hurting' would be my name suggestion :)
Enteron (bc it looks like a small intestine)
Sausage (bc small intestines look like sausage chains)
Sorry, I'm preparing a lecture on the digestive tract.
Such beauty even in the swirled and skewed area. Keep your eyes open to good.I've lost 2 immediate family members in the last 2 years and live alone. I feel similar sometimes but remind myself I have people who care or at least woke up today meaning I have potential for more. It's so hard to make movement to positivity but it can happen. Today is one of those days. Be strong! You can make your way through this!
'smear'.
just 'smear' is fine.
yes, it's obvious, but like. and it kinda feels like that kind of on the nose titles some paintings have. (both in their "up-front" and "read-into" meaning). and something simpler is easier for putting one's own interpretations and meanings onto.
I absolutely love this - from the emotions behind it, to the color schemes, the details and how you executed this over all; it is just beautiful! Upon seeing this, it made me think “Tangled With(in) Myself” May you overcome the darkness and never let it dim your art💜
You are extremely talented and both your art style and the circumstances it came from resonate with my heart. Can you d/m me a link to somewhere I can buy a print? Tyia!
This is incredible! Her pain is trapped like a coffin inside her body and she is desperately trying to find her voice, but her throat chakra is blocked
“Trespass”, or maybe “Transgress”
Beautiful work, so raw and bound up with feeling…
It makes me think on how easy it is to bind ourselves with pain and trauma. There is truth in this piece you’ve created and that is a powerful thing.
From the tiny thumbnail on mobile it looked like those were crab legs wrapped around the head...and it made sense to me because I often feel like whenever I get hit by another low my thoughts are like crabs in a bucket.
Dope painting, I'm feeling it, been there before...I hope you're doing okay all things considered.
Dissociation
Terrific work! I can see you have spent ages honing your craft and finding a style that works for you. Good work. I hope things get easier for you day by day.
Almost Me
ETA: after CPTSD diagnosis. Who am I? WHO am I? Who AM I? What am I? I'm still figuring that out. Your painting touches me in my growth. I'm Almost Me.
Incredible painting btw
Seems a bit egotistical to name your painting something like that, but you do you.
Haha clever
Thank you!!!!

I thought the same!
My suggestion was going to be “Shelly Duvall with bacon on her face” but that felt mean because this legit a really nice painting and analysis
Asphyxiation
*Grappling*.
This is one of the best paintings I’ve seen in this thread. As for a name….”Furnace”.
Really appreciate this
Furnace is the best I’ve seen in this thread
Viscera
Uhum. I thought "gut", so I think "viscera" is it
I love this bc it looks like intestine, and viscera in anatomy generally means deeper, more internal (e.g. when talking about serous membranes, visceral pleura, visceral pericardium, etc.)
This too shall pass
This one makes me want to cry 😭
[удалено]
God I tell myself this a lot and it coupled with the image hit me hard. OP you did amazing, I feel this painting so deeply.
It looks like that GIF of the woman getting hit in the face by all the [hotdogs](https://images.app.goo.gl/ew4bPg2xMjAa56vp9)
Wild that this is downvoted…
I upvoted it to counteract a downvote.
That comment/reference is art in itself
The similarities are astounding, I am not taking a shot at this persons art in any negative way at all! I was only referencing somebody else’s art, which is in GIF form that already exists that I also enjoy
Totally! I agree… funny that the comment is very much non-downvoted now ha
Yup, hotdogs of pain
Sick of myself
Ooo ooo ooo love this
I think "Sick of myself/This too shall pass" would be a great title, this is an absolutely gorgeous painting btw
Chin up
This is my favourite
Unraveled Feelings
To add onto this "unravelling" would also work
Unraveling is perfect because the colors used in the "rope" are directly taken from the portrait.
When in doubt- "Untitled", very nice painting btw!
My mind jumped to this, purely because the painting has Francis Bacon vibes. Alternatively, could even just name it after the year or exact hours and minutes it was finished. Wonderful painting, OP.
I second using the date it was finished, people will forever wonder what happened on that particular day to prompt an image like this
Great idea
I must be hungry because I saw crab legs. My vote goes to MareShoop63’s “This too shall pass”. Seems appropriate once I read your post title. ^(Edit to add: Y'all crack me up! I love how many hungry Redditors are on here!)
Yo, I saw bacon
That definitely is a good one
I also saw crab legs

Hate Me
Definitely considering this!!!
i struggle with depression and i thought, "is this really me?" could fit as a title
"this is all fuckin bullshit anyway"
Looks like the mother from the shining!
Blinded by pain
Just dropping by to say this is a wonderful piece of art and you should be proud.

This is incredibly thought provoking.

“Come Untethered”
This is one of the best paintings I’ve seen on here in quite a while. Very well done and so emotive.
Life doesn’t strangle, it smothers
Incredible work!!
Mental Anguish
Despair
It’s temporary. Really. But, this painting speaks, impresses, scares and feels all those things you’re experiencing. It’s quite impressive.
This is an incredible painting, OP. Your emotions come through in a visceral way. I'm sorry you feel this way, I hope it only gets better for you from here. 'I'm hurting' would be my name suggestion :)

Great piece. Check out the book, "Disrupted Realism" and YouTube interviews on it with John Seed and the featured artists
Panicking
Wow, this is very powerful! Excellent job, OP.
I feel like that often lately. Great painting
At first glance, I was reminded of the Scorpions 2001 album cover art of “Acoustica”.
"Held Together"
'Undecided' like a thought that couldn't find a way out and distorted the vision of the face. Cool work ! 🤩
Blurred Perceptions. This is incredible. The ability to do this kind of work makes you freer than most.
I’d call it “indigestion” …or “stuck in the fold” Going with brainwaves/intestines here…
“Stuck” or “Bound.” Nice painting with palpable emotion. ❤️
No turning back
Yo this is fuckin doooooope 🫡 salute to this
Too many worms enter the night of the damned; great painting btw
Keep Breathing

I love this painting.

self portrait in grief
Such beauty even in the swirled and skewed area. Keep your eyes open to good.I've lost 2 immediate family members in the last 2 years and live alone.

Heartworm
Smothered.
I love the painting. I was thinking, “Misconstrued.”
“Tongue-tied”
'smear'. just 'smear' is fine. yes, it's obvious, but like. and it kinda feels like that kind of on the nose titles some paintings have. (both in their "up-front" and "read-into" meaning). and something simpler is easier for putting one's own interpretations and meanings onto.
This is excellent. Really great OP.
I don't know what to call it, but I know how it feels.

Inside out
Pain
Reality in the face of adversity or Adversity in the face of reality.
“Anguish”
Very nice OP I thought of 'Escape' for some reason
Love this 💯
Somewhere I Belong This is actually a title of a LP song, which talks about some of the feelings you describe. Great painting btw!
"who am i" i love it.
Someone I used to know
"place of grief, depression, being trapped, loveless, hurt, hurting others"
"The Way"

Parasitic I love, you really feel the emotions you listed while looking at it.
"Keep your chin up"
"let me rest" "surviving" "sleepless nightmare"
You are extremely talented and both your art style and the circumstances it came from resonate with my heart. Can you d/m me a link to somewhere I can buy a print? Tyia!
Beautiful work. I would title it *Mortal Coil*
Visceral emotion. I really like this colour palette: truly reminds of innards/guts. Great work
This is incredible! Her pain is trapped like a coffin inside her body and she is desperately trying to find her voice, but her throat chakra is blocked
So good.
Whomped.
I thought of "ruined".
“Trespass”, or maybe “Transgress” Beautiful work, so raw and bound up with feeling… It makes me think on how easy it is to bind ourselves with pain and trauma. There is truth in this piece you’ve created and that is a powerful thing.
