16x20” Mixed Media on Canvas | Inspired by a poem by Khalid Aldiyktatur
A moody, blood-hued ode to feminine power and the fragility that shadows it. “Tyrannical Beast” is a painted embodiment of Khalid’s haunting poem—where seduction dances with sorrow, and beauty becomes both weapon and curse.
The canvas blooms with deep reds, inky silhouettes, and fractured softness. It’s a story of lives undone under the spell of a coquet whose charm carries a ticking clock.
This piece does not ask for permission. It commands the room, then disappears before you can name what it took.
“For beauty is a short-lived tyrannical beast…”
