December 2022 was quite a busy time for me particularly with my art. I had a couple real time projects to work on and made a couple drawings one of which is this piece I couldn't share because of how busy I was at the time. This art was completed around the last 10 days of December and it was inspired by the idea of a relationship with a person or entity with toxic personality. Lately I've been seeing more of people coming out to talk about their toxic relationships and I sometimes do wonder why they keep staying in most cases when they could've just left and be free from this toxic person or entity. Some of them believed they'd rather be with a person they know already and face all that comes with that person than try to build another life with a new person they don't know, who may turn out worse than the first, which goes along with the saying "The Devil I know Is Better Than The Angel I Don't know". The idea that the knowledge they have about this toxic entity would give them a chance of survival and the relationship could be handled than to start something new with a person they don't know at all. In my opinion, I do think it's best to leave such toxic relationships for our own good, and it doesn't matter if we're gonna be alone for a while. We've seen how being in a toxic relationship plays out most times and it's not good, at all.
So, this piece depicts a woman with scars and her hands tied in a cozy relationship with a dark entity which seems to be the cause of her suffering and bandage. This entity takes the form of a devil and I had to use to the red theme to show that. It was an interesting piece to create and I loved every process of thr creation. Unfortunately, I didn't take much photos of the steps but I hope the few taken will hove an idea of how it was created.
"A love imperfect
Trapped in a world with no way back
Self inflicted misery I have brought upon myself
Because better the devil I know than the angel I don't know"
