“Silver Doesn’t Rust” – Original Painting
11x14, Acrylic on Canvas
This haunting work visualizes the theme of the companion song Silver Doesn’t Rust. Cloaked in a sharp suit, the figure embodies the manipulative “silver tongue”—a narcissist who twists words into weapons. Their eyes are hollow, consuming, drawing you in while their forked silver tongue slithers outward with deceptive brilliance. The background, tangled with thorns and flames, represents the snare of their lies and the slow burn of their destruction.
Silver doesn’t rust—its shine never fades. Likewise, the charm of a narcissist often remains intact on the surface, even as they corrode everything around them. This piece serves as both a warning and a revelation: beauty and polish can conceal deep malice, but once unmasked, their true face cannot be unseen.
