The distrust in the eyes and the manic flow of the lines send a message to the unaware- do you know what it is like to feel the way this looks?
If not then take this at face value smile nod and move right along to the happy simple things you love so much.
But if you do know what it is like to feel the way this looks then let this talk to you, it is for you the lines they lead to thoughts most do not want to think the man is a being guarding the thoughts where the lines end.
The contrast of dark ink with flesh toned background makes the message even more bold and surreal "keep away if you do not understand but if you do, let the path show you the way to my inner world"
I could be wrong this could just be a very good piece of art from a talented mind nothing more nothing less but the Van Gogh overtones are hard to miss and its equally hard not to feel that more is to be seen in this work than what is on the surface.
