Hello, thank you for the comment and undoubtedly an interesting interpretation to this work. It certainly has a symbolism concerning the colors that are used. Indeed, the picture is very paradoxical. I pictured it positively. The green color behind him symbolizes the surrounding world, where he came from. Red color, how much he resists the system, in which he fell, against the norms in this territory. And the yellow under the palm of your hand, that John is in love, is really human. And he sincerely does not understand that state, the absence of real emotions, so he is pale. Many of the black strokes used in the picture symbolize the one and only end that awaits him in this deceitful, vicious world.
