Through her art, Selara wants to share her feelings about Psychotic Romantic Paintings; the romantic and the psychotic side about lethargy, mad world and mental health. Selara has been painting using two colors: red and black. Red represents the culmination of all the horrors that are very sweet and powerful while black represents something cold, dark, painful but it doesn't want to be seen.
The arts she creates is probably the only real magic she has encountered in her life. The canvas is a place to express repressed emotions and to comprehend what's going on inside her head.
Many of his paintings represent the battles of her daily mountain-and-valley moods, often illustrating figures in pain or torment, but also the sweetest things she wants to believe.
The more Lethargic, weak and ill of her body and her head, the greater is the urgency and need for crawling and creating.
