I know the price tag on original art can feel out of reach—but money isn’t all I care about. If you’ve been a long-time supporter or feel a deep connection to a piece, but can’t swing the listed price, please reach out. I'm open to trades for goods or services, or working something out that honors both your budget and the time and soul I've put into this.

BARBARIAN, or, sickle cell anemia is an original 11" x 14" canvas painting by Huntsville artist yumedyne, created with acrylic paint, oil paint, and glitter sealant.
This unframed work explodes with raw, jagged color and primitive symbolism: arrows pierce through, eyes watch from the margins, and a figure crouches under the weight of both physical and spiritual wounds. Tattoos of daggers, bones, and skulls mark the body, while bold lines and chaotic textures recall cave paintings and graffiti.
The title pushes the painting into darker terrain — connecting themes of illness, brutality, survival, and identity — yet the neon vibrancy and glitter finish keep the work alive in tension between beauty and violence.
Medium: Acrylic, oil, glitter sealant on canvas
Dimensions: 11” x 14” (unframed)
Style: Maximalist, Neo-Expressionism, Pop Surrealism
Artist: yumedyne
A one-of-a-kind artwork for collectors who seek paintings that are both confrontational and symbolic, perfect for spaces that invite dialogue and bold visual impact.
