A contemplative figure rendered in sweeping strokes of teal, orange, coral, and deep blue. The face rests in thoughtful repose, eyes closed, hand supporting the head in quiet introspection. The bold text "Stop turning my ears into trashcans" sits at the bottom of the poster, delivering a cheeky yet clear boundary with style.
Style: Fauvist Contemporary Expressionism; a collision of vivid, unrestrained color and gestural energy that prioritizes emotion over anatomy.
The inspiration behind the design: Born from the need to set boundaries without losing your sense of humor, this poster pairs expressive art with a lighthearted message. It's a playful reminder that your space, your ears, and your energy are not dumping grounds for negativity, gossip, or endless complaints.
The emotional impact: This is how you say "not today" without saying a word. The vibrant, layered brushwork gives the piece visual weight, while the text delivers the punchline. It's witty, direct, and unapologetic. Perfect for anyone who values their peace and isn't afraid to protect it with a smile. Hang this in your office, studio, or living room, and let it do the talking. It sets the tone before anyone opens their mouth.
