“PUBLISH MY PAIN”

“Publish My Pain” (2025) by Corbelli Makaveli / Mr. 1 Of 1

This original one-of-one mixed-media painting is created on canvas with heavy acrylic, vinyl, cards, and cut-out scraps from everyday life. Designed as a magazine cover, it embodies chaos, healing, and unfiltered truth.

The wide-eyed figure—crying out in anguish—represents suppressed trauma breaking free. Headlines such as “Bright,” “Pose,” “Hundreds of Solutions Inside,” “Organic,” and “Gear” mock the way society markets healing, while the cracked heart and Corbelli signature root the piece in street luxury and truth-telling.

Built with thick textures and layered collage, the work challenges viewers to sit with discomfort—to confront what the world often filters out. The barcode and date stamp emphasize how even pain can be packaged and sold.

This is not a product. It is protest. A breakthrough. A statement of survival.

This is testimony.
