this was created in a few sessions from january, february, and april specifically. it was the first of any of my paintings that i decided to slowly build up in layers and i am quite pleased with it. and my friends and mom like it too! in regards to titling, the act of consumption, destroying something for sustenance or fuel, came to me. ‘saturn devouring his son’ by goya also came to me. the soul of that painting. i believe this painting contains some of that emotion found in that.
