ADHD - Art Gallery
Welcome to the ADHD – ART GALLERY,
a space dedicated to my paintings and drawings inspired by ADHD, created over the past few years using oil, acrylic, or pencil.
Through a realistic style enriched with imaginary, symbolic, and metaphorical situations,
I seek to make the invisible visible and offer another perspective on ADHD.
Each work is part of an engaged artistic approach, aiming to raise awareness and help people better understand this reality through the power of the image.
Everyday clumsiness
My ADHD often makes me clumsy; I frequently feel like disappearing. I cover my eyes so I don’t have to see the mess I’ve created, my mouth so I don’t have to explain or justify myself, and my ears so I don’t have to hear the possible remarks I might receive.

Need for change
My ADHD drives me to a constant search for novelty and stimulation, because routine bores me and I need change to feel fully alive.

Need for challenges
While it’s true that my ADHD can generate a stream of disruptive thoughts, it also fuels my passion for complex challenges. I love to puzzle over finding solutions, because my imagination is stimulated by difficult situations, and I know there is always a way forward.

Feeling different
For me, the feeling of being different is both an inner perception linked to my ADHD and a reflection of the way others look at me, sometimes finding me strange.

Difficulty relaxing
My attention, constantly on high alert, means that even the slightest stimulus is enough to interrupt a moment of calm. It is therefore especially difficult for me to truly relax.

Ability to improvise
One of the strengths of my ADHD is my ability to improvise. When I need to find a solution in the face of a challenge, it kicks in and always finds a clever way to move forward.

Risk-taking
My ADHD drives me to take risks out of impulsivity and a need for stimulation, leading me to bold initiatives that can also be potentially dangerous.

Tentacular stress
This work is a visual dive into modern stress, personified by a giant octopus overwhelming the individual, whose silhouette struggles to stay afloat. Each tentacle embodies a relentless aspect of this ever-present pressure, showing how, amid visible damage and daily challenges, stress becomes, for those with ADHD, an intense, unique turmoil that cannot be ignored.
TENTACLES:
Pressure: I feel an overflow of emotions, ideas, and thoughts building up inside me, ready to explode if I don’t release this pressure.
Family weight: In my relationship and with my children, I always want to do well, even though these responsibilities can become a real source of stress.
Managing the disorder: Stress often overwhelms me and reduces my ability to control everything. That’s why I need to channel my mind and restlessness through various relaxation methods.
Toxic escapes: In moments of intense stress, alcohol, cigarettes, and medication can serve as temporary ways to calm and soothe my anxieties, even if not always healthy.
Financial burden: An anchor placed on a pile of bills, watched by sharks, symbolizes the stress I feel under societal pressure and the constant daily chase for money.
Tyranny of time: Time and the feeling that life is moving too fast make me very nervous and stressed, between the fear of missing appointments and not achieving my professional goals.
Fragile balance: I strive to maintain balance in my life despite the fragility of my stability, aware that everything can collapse quickly.
Uncertainty: Simply not knowing what will happen sometimes creates deep stress within me.

Mental chaos
With ADHD, my mind is a living bubble where a mental chaos of ideas and thoughts constantly stirs, as if multiple voices are speaking at the same time, making it extremely difficult to focus on just one thing.

Need for novelty
ADHD gives my mind a sometimes chaotic liveliness, like a whirlwind of ideas and thoughts constantly swirling within my personal bubble.
