Smiling at the D3vil - SOLD
It’s a smile — but only if you don’t look too long.
The eyes drip pitch. The flames rise quietly.
Something is burning behind the calm.
Burn Behind the Smile is a portrait of pure, internal contempt. The kind of rage that simmers silently — not because it’s mild, but because it has nowhere safe to go. It’s about the anger you carry for someone you must pretend to respect. The disgust you swallow because the environment demands performance.
The face plays along. It stays cheerful. Controlled.
But inside, you’re standing in fire.
Not yelling. Just watching. Judging.
Waiting for the moment the mask might slip.
This is not forgiveness.
This is what restraint looks like when it’s holding back hell.
