Painted 'Alla Prima', it was created with the intention of giving the sense of brutality of the title: Broken Boned & Bleeding Out, which in turn is a line in Dexuality Valentino’s poem and song by DVEC.

Executed with confident brushstrokes, the diverse layers of light and dark colours give a sense of anger and violence, and yet it also shows the painstaking attention to not ruin the whole canvas by adding too many details.

The punches and blows have landed, and the system is failing. Everything is exploding.

Poem/Song by DVEC

Broken Boned and Bleeding Out
And all your endings come at once
crushing blows and raining fists
Nobody loves you anyway
accept your fate
All your endings come at once
A kick in the face
You’re bleeding out
Nobody loves you anyway
Just let it all go
Your life was a trial before it began
Hope is for those who fight back
How much can this vessel take
Till the lights switch off
Nothing lasts forever
All your endings come at once.
And nobody loved you anyway
Broken boned and Bleeding out
is something to live for
As important as something to die for?
Stop breathing
Click.
