Clinomania

The story behind Clinomania is a deeply personal one. Clinomania, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a psychological condition characterized by an obsessive desire to stay in bed and avoid all forms of activity or responsibility.

I have always been a highly ambitious and driven person, but there have been times in my life when the weight of my responsibilities and the constant pressure to succeed have become overwhelming. In those moments, the temptation to simply crawl under the covers and hide away from the world has been almost irresistible.

Through the collection, I sought to capture the complex emotions and experiences associated with this condition. Each painting is a reflection of a specific moment in my life when I have struggled with clinomania, whether it was a time when I was struggling to overcome the temptation to give in to my laziness and procrastination, or a time when I was overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety and depression.
