Schizophrenia 2019

"Schizophrenia" (2019) by Sami Gattoufi is a poignant oil painting depicting a woman in an orange dress, seemingly asleep. The muted tones and soft brushstrokes contribute to the melancholic atmosphere of the piece, reflecting the artist's exploration of mental health through the lens of figurative art. The woman's partially obscured face and the overall sense of isolation evoke the internal struggles associated with schizophrenia. The intimate scale of the artwork, measuring 30 x 40 cm, invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of the human experience.
