Original artwork description:

"Online".
Oil on canvas, 2022.
50*60 cm.

“Online” explores the complex emotional and psychological impact of social media in the modern age. Drawing a powerful visual analogy, the work reflects how digital platforms have become one of the dominant sources of stimulation, pleasure, and — at times — manipulation.

Through a provocative and unapologetically raw composition, this painting questions the addictive nature of online engagement. It touches on emotional dependency, the hijacking of human attention, and how our biochemical responses are exploited by design.

Despite being aware of the potential harm, we continue to consume and participate — highlighting a deep contradiction at the core of digital life. This work invites viewers to reflect on control, desire, and the blurred lines between connection and consumption in the digital age.
