This painting is an ode to Frank Bruno.

Bruno is a former British heavyweight boxer born on November 16, 1961 in London, England. He is an iconic figure in British boxing history and known for his warm and friendly personality.

Bruno’s career has at times been overshadowed by his battles with mental health issues. He has spoken openly about his battle with depression and has worked to break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Mental problems are not limited to race, color or religion. We are “The same”. The colors in the painting symbolize all these people. For gloom, hopelessness and desperation. But for shine and light because there is hope and prospect of better times.

“The Same” by The Smile, a musical project featuring members Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner, explores the themes of a perpetual cycle, stagnation and the search for change. The text suggests a sense of repetition and monotomy, in which the protagonist feels trapped in an endless loop of similar experiences.

The song calls for reflection on the nature of change and the challenge of breaking free from entrenched patterns.
