Expressionism is an artistic movement that aims to capture the psychological feelings and reactions that things and situations elicit in the viewer rather than objective facts. Through distortion, exaggeration, traditionalism, and imagination as well as the vivid, startling, violent, or dynamic use of formal components, the artist achieves this goal. The painting here is a representation of the 8 dark feelings that take over a human being which are anger, fear, sadness, loss, emptiness, depression, shame, and jealousy which lead the person to the gateway of the destruction of himself, by drowning himself to the bottom of the ocean. The oceanic animals represent those people in one’s life who show that they care but when needed or after knowing the worse condition don’t show up. The shades of browns bring out the dark emotions vividly.
