How does it feel?

Oil painting on canvas, framed. 

Set on a beautiful turquoise background, this abstract painting depicts the experience of chronic pain. 

From the artist:

Pain has been at the core of my disability since 2013. I’ve learned to live with it most of the time. Sometimes, however, it has a nasty ability to take over. It feels as if I have been plugged in to some external machine, pumping waves of hot metal into my nervous system. The mysterious substance spreads out, infecting everything it touches. This painting is a close as I can get to showing you how it feels on one of ‘those’ days.
