Fear by Katerina Apostolakou


Title: Fear
Artist: Katerina Apostolakou
Medium: Painting on Canvas 
 Demensions: 24x20 inches


Katerina Apostolakou is a young woman from Greece. She studied law and psychology but never received a diploma. However when depression hit in Greece Katerina found peace and expression in art. Katerina dedicates the painting to "another suicide that took place in Greece because of crisis." I chose this painting because it exhibits the regret one may face when committing such a selfish act, such as suicide. The image makes the viewer feel sorrow for the damned soul, but the image also serves as a message. Those who commit a selfish act will have to deal with their choice and will be doomed to watch his loved ones suffer which is a fearful thought that this could be the fate for many of us.
