Growing
up can be a challenge, especially in the teenage years. Some people use writing
or art as a creative outlet for all the emotions they keep inside.
Sebastian
Eriksson is an 18-year-old up-and-coming surrealist artist living in Sweden.
Not only is his artwork amazing, it's extremely thought-provoking as he adds
descriptions of how his pieces relate to his life.
For
instance, in the piece above, he states: ""This is another paradox
that I've been working on for a couple of days. It describes a person with
psychological problems such as schizophrenia, insanity, depression or other
mental problems. His endless screaming makes his own mind eat him up. I have
periods in my life where I feel like this. I wanted to make an illustration of
my thoughts and my pain within."
And
for the piece immediately below: "One day I felt like I was lost and I had
too much things to think about. Like I was stuck in a maze and couldn't get
out."
We've
all felt like Sebastian, but most of us do not have the talent to draw how we
feel. It's fascinating to look into the mind of a teenager through his or her
artwork. It's also an honor.
