Description from the seller

In this work, Michael Knepper captures the fragility of the human condition, symbolized by the broken wings that bear the burdens and challenges of life. The combination of oil and acrylic revolves around the sternness and tenderness of reality. The deep red and the muted gray reflect the intense emotions that often drive us unconsciously. This painting tells of struggle and strength that come together and convey to the viewer a heavy, yet inspiring energy.
