This Is My Artwork Depicting Social Issues (19 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I found Bored Panda during the pandemic, and it was my ray of sunshine in the middle of all the depressing chaos around me. I've been hooked ever since.

Bored Panda was also my first exposure to digital art, a whole new medium for me. I used to paint (oils and acrylics) but eventually it became an expensive hobby I couldn't afford, but I missed expressing myself in art and finding a way to shout without shouting.

Anyway, I am still learning this medium, but I hope you enjoy some of my creations below, mostly focused on societal issues. I also do fantasy art and surrealism, and working on putting some of the designs on products and hoping it will take off one day.

"Disease(D)"

This was my own personal feeling when Roe v Wade was shot down; for the first time in my life, as a woman, I felt less than human. As if we are a disease; flawed and something to be hidden away.

"Girls Night Out"

This is just one of a series I was creating depicting a dystopian future. They are some of my personal favorites , and it was my way to show on the outside what I was feeling on the inside.

I'll say one thing: there are reasons why great powers haven't fought directly since 1945, and i'm not saying the nuclear deterrent is the only reason, but it definitely is one of them

Most, if not all of these, are definitely AI generated. C'mon, we really gotta lie about art now? They're still cool even if they're AI generated, but be honest about it
