The Demonized Self | Oil Pastel Demon Portrait

What would your demons look like if you stopped trying to hide them?
The Demonized Self is an ongoing portrait series exploring the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to fear, suppress, or apologize for. Each figure transforms something deeply human: an insecurity, obsession, emotion, identity, or experience, into a demon worthy of being seen.
Because maybe the things that make us monstrous aren't monstrous at all.
Each portrait is an original, one-of-one artwork created by Aubrey Obscura in richly layered oil pastel, with bold color, expressive texture, and the strange beauty of the Demonized Self universe.

Anyone can be a demon if the smear campaign is strong enough.
