**“Chimpanzee” portrays a masculine psyche locked in a primitive defensive state.

His rigid features, tense lines, and intense colors reveal an adult who learned to survive by suppressing emotion and building a psychological armor.

The work reflects how unresolved wounds can turn sensitivity into instinct, trapping a person in archaic patterns of reaction and control.

It is a portrait of someone who chooses hardness over vulnerability to avoid being hurt again.”
