Anxiety

The painting titled 'Anxiety' employs Symbolic painting techniques to evoke a sense of tension rooted in the historical context of the Great Game—a rivalry between the British and Russian empires over Central Asian influence. Using Cardboard as a primary material, the artist creates a layered, textured surface, emphasizing the fragility and instability of borders and alliances. The work's muted color palette, possibly rendered with Tempera, conveys a subdued, almost surreal atmosphere. Through this stylistic approach, the painting metaphorically explores the profound Symbolism of geopolitical uncertainty, capturing the collective anxiety of a region on the brink of upheaval.
