Thank you for meeting me

”The drawing “Thank you for meeting me” by the artist Gimiro depicts an eerie scene where the viewer looks up from a grave. On the sides of the walls, there are smiling mouths everywhere.

Looking out of the grave hole, there is a ring of friends and family to the artist. This might represent the artist’s gratitude for the support of those close to them or the idea that the artist’s loved ones are always with them even after they have passed away.

Behind the ring of friends and family, there is an abstract drawing of the face of the artist himself portrayed in extreme pain and agony. This might symbolize the artist’s own struggles with mental illness or physical pain, or it could be a representation of the pain and suffering that the artist sees in the world around them.

Overall, “Thank you for meeting me” is a haunting artwork that explores themes of death, gratitude, and pain. The smiling mouths on the walls and the ring of friends and family suggest that there is a sense of hope and support amidst the darkness of death, but the abstract face of the artist in pain reminds us that life can also be a painful and difficult journey.“
