Killer Mike - Window Into The Mind oil pastel and oil paint on canvas. 

20in by 20in.

This oil and pastel painting is a surreal exploration of identity, struggle, and wisdom, featuring rapper and activist Killer Mike. His face emerges from within a horned, almost mechanical figure, symbolizing both power and introspection. Below him, a deep pond reflects the world within—a sign reading “FML” floats at its center, hinting at the tension between frustration and resilience. The bold, chaotic background contrasts with the stillness of the water, creating a visual dialogue between fire and reflection, noise and contemplation. A glowing eye crowns the figure, representing knowledge, vision, and the weight of awareness. This piece challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface, questioning what it means to be seen, heard, and understood.
