The title Paper Prison comes from the idea of the painting and the life contained within the fibers of the paper being trapped and imprisoned inside a bronze picture frame. The warm glow emitting from the painting is a tale of love, happiness, and tragedy but how does it make you feel? All the visual elements were hand-drawn, digitally painted, and composited. I started the piece while studying Art & Design at college and working on my first 2D animation of the same name. It's one of my oldest pieces and people seem to enjoy it as much as I do. Inspired & dedicated to my three little sisters Opia, Jamila, and Zimara.
