'compromise' is an emotional painting that reflects the artist's contemplation of his passage of time. The instinct to resist change, rooted in the desire to maintain control, ultimately leads to suffering. Frustration, denial, and sadness churn within this inner space, creating discomfort—yet it is here that the path to wisdom begins to unfold. Compromise is not resignation or abandonment of our aspirations; rather, it is an invitation to acceptance and adaptation as we align our desires with reality through growing wisdom. The painting seeks to showcase the emotions involved in navigating life's inevitable transitions and serves as a reminder to remain open and actively participate in our lives to thrive in any situation we are presented with.
