In this painting titled All In, I depicted a poker player wearing sunglasses. Behind him, against a deep red background, stands a demonic figure, suggesting the dark and tempting nature of gambling. The player is intent on throwing his cards, which seem to be directed towards the viewer, as if to send out a cry for help. In this mysterious, surreal context, I wanted to highlight the contrast between the character and his demonic shadow, emphasizing the theme of the painting, exploring the dualism between the allure of risk and the disturbing presence of evil and addiction.
