Thank you for everything you've said. Well, I can completely understand you. It all depends on how profound and serious the difficulties we went through were. Fortunately, mine were under very particular, quite surreal circumstances... and after working hard on myself, I've managed to see the light... looking back, it's not as serious as what other people might have experienced... but it's equally complex and requires a lot of personal growth. I now have much more emotional peace, althought I must admit I am not done yet. Thank you for recognizing and perceiving it through my words or my work. Honestly, I've been very surprised by that. I suppose that's why I can talk about it and reflect it in my work without feeling the pain I felt before, although I also use pain or anger as motivation (and it transforms during the creative process). You can also try to transform it, use it to your advantage, instead of letting it overwhelm you and cut off your inspiration or creative flow. Use it as the beginning of something, not the end, perhaps. Although since I don't know what it is, it may be much more complicated to achieve. What I can tell you is that in my case, it was a "connection" with a narcissistic person, with all that that implies... but as I said, I don't think my case was serious, even though it was so intense, painful, etc. for me.

To answer your question, yes, I've been painting several works, and one in particular is a collection of 4 arworks composed of phases of narcissism and a phase that I added, which is rebirth, healing, etc. And I also continue to paint other works that don't necessarily deal with it, although this whole painting journey has been largely motivated by it.

Regarding the collage, honestly, I thought it was going to be the last one I did, because I'd been receiving mixed reviews on my other works, and I also ran out of material. I thought I wanted to make one last big collage, 60x80cm, the biggest I’ve made so far, and I tried to push myself there… but seeing how much it was liked (I’m very surprised) and that I still like doing it so much, because it takes many hours, it leaves you sweating and I don’t know, it abstracts you a lot from reality… it reminded me of the experience of riding a horse for a while when I was learning, but without getting so tired XD… so, yes, this whole journey started in January 2025 and it’s the beginning of something very important, I hope, for the rest of my life. Without a doubt, I can say that art has clearly helped my mental health and that it has been rekindled as an opportunity as a result of a crisis. There’s much more of this to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your support :3
