Nex Generation

Nex Generation is a piece I painted during a time when I was deeply immersed in music, art, and the wild, expressive energy of live festivals and underground gatherings. I was constantly surrounded by sound and movement — by people pouring themselves into their art — and that vibration made its way into this painting in every form.
On the left, there’s a glowing orb — part moon, part speaker — pulsing with energy. From that vibration, a tendril stretches outward and becomes the head of an elephant, a symbol I’ve always associated with deep memory, strength, and wisdom. Just beneath it, a ribbon-like piano loops back into the elephant’s mouth, almost like the music is feeding the soul. Tucked in this space is the first of three faces — calm, grounded, and quietly present — a moment of peace within all the motion.
Around that central area is a surreal cityscape — abstract buildings shaped like music notes — like a civilization built on sound. Vertical black lines run through the piece like soundwaves or strands of DNA, representing the rhythm and vibration that moves through everything we are.
At the heart of it all is the elephant’s eye, casting lines outward in every direction. To me, it feels like a center of perception — not just sight, but deeper vision. It’s like a spiritual compass, quietly watching over the movement of sound, transformation, and memory across the canvas.
To the right, two more faces appear — looser, more fluid — as if they’re dancing or dissolving into pure creative energy. From behind the upper figure, a cascade of violet pours down like a waterfall of imagination, giving rise to birds in flight — a release of thought, emotion, and inspiration into the world.
This painting is layered with sound, spirit, and symbolism. It captures a moment in my life where I was evolving alongside the music and the art around me — where imagination, memory, and rhythm all blurred together to shape the next version of myself.
