Broken by Cyrus T.

Acrylic and oil paint

Meet the Artist: Cyrus T.

Inspiration:

The unfair and brokenness of our current justice system where if you have the right amount of money you can buy your justice, no matter right or wrong.

What role does art play in your life?

Art plays the most important role in my life because it gives me an outlet to express and show who I am. Everything inspires me. I look at the good and bad in the world as art.

Justice statement:

I can't say what justice means to me, as I've only dealt with the criminal side of the law. I hope to show in my painting the injustice a lot of Americans face today. "Money and greed" in our society today - if you have money, you can buy your justice. those of us in low class and poverty face a type of justice we can't afford. We work day in and day out to keep the rich wealthy and the poor to struggle. The unfairness of this justice should not stand. We all should have justice and it should not cost anyone a cent of their dignity.
