"SPLEEN" is a 2019 oil painting by Sergio Mario Illuminato, depicting a ghostly, white figure contorted into a fetal position against a textured, dark blue background. The figure is outlined in white paint, while the background is a complex blend of blues, blacks, and hints of red, giving the artwork a dreamlike and melancholic quality. The artwork's title and subject matter suggest a focus on emotional states, possibly exploring themes of isolation, depression, or introspection.
