in The Face of it ALL original artwork by UK Bristol artist Chris Shopland Acrylic and pen on A4 paper
Ever feel like there are two versions of you — the one the world sees, and the one that quietly exists beneath the surface? That inner world, often hidden, holds our truths, our pain, and our strength.
Painting, for me, is a way to make sense of a fractured world — a form of escape, but also a way to honour the resilience of the human spirit. This portrait carries weight behind the eyes — a quiet intensity, a story untold.
Maybe you see yourself in it — that feeling of facing everything, and still standing.
