Samuel Monroy, Melancholy, graphite, $50

My art piece has no real meaning– I just made it, and I feel like that’s what gives it so much more meaning and depth— I dug deep into my brain and let my imagination create the beautiful piece of art you see today. The only meaning I can really find in it is that my art can be very nihilistic, but I believe my art has a different type of nihilism imbedded into it, a profound sense of sadness shown with beautiful imagery that makes you happy because you can experience the beauty and reality of this sad and overwhelming world.
