About this artwork
This piece comes from the beginning of my split-face series, painted about four years ago when I first started exploring duality on canvas.
At that time, I wasn’t fully articulating it yet—but I understood the tension. Here, I’m holding opposing emotional states in place without letting them collide. The green band across the center acts as restraint—it keeps the envy in check, but it doesn’t remove it.
That pressure is still there. Contained, but… combustible. In certain areas, I allowed the paint to thin so the canvas shows through. That bleed isn’t accidental—it’s where control starts to give, where what’s underneath pushes back.
One side of the face remains measured and observant, while the other leans into expression and warmth. Instead of confrontation, I placed a shared gesture between them—something steady, something human—to keep everything from breaking apart.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Paul Brandwein Sr. is a self-taught painter whose medium is primarily layered, textured acrylic on canvas, shaped by a background of personal transformation after a traumatic brain injury. His techniques blend intuitive abstraction, contemporary Cubism, and Neuro-Expressionism, featuring impasto that mimics scar tissue, shifting forms that emerge instinctively, and colors that bleed to echo memory and emotion. His art radiates raw honesty, evoking spiritual depth and the experience of survival—each piece a poignant testament to endurance, revelation, and the reconstruction of self.

In 2025, I released “From Canvas to ColorBook,” a published collection where I translated my abstract paintings into line-art form for the public. It’s part of how I share my work beyond the canvas and invite people into my creative world.
