The expressive painting "Before the Show" epicts a musician friend of the artist,  mentally preparing himself for the upcoming "show." Somewhere between a satanic, tattooed black metal musician and an image of Jesus, struggling with a deep unease behind the façade.

Delving into the complexities of masculinity, the painting transcends mere physical attributes, exploring the evolving expectations and attitudes towards modern manhood. While traditional markers such as size, musculature, and voice remain relevant, there's a nuanced shift towards embracing vulnerability and introspection.

Selected for inclusion in the prestigious "New Masculinity" Collection by Singulart, this piece invites viewers to ponder the multifaceted nature of contemporary masculinity. It challenges conventional norms, advocating for strength tempered with the willingness to confront one's weaknesses and navigate life's complexities with resilience and grace.
