Wake Me, Please

Title: Wake Me, Please

Size: 24 x 30 in

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Artist: DATKID

Caught in the grip of sleep paralysis, Wake Me, Please captures the terrifying stillness between dreaming and consciousness. A shadowed figure looms over the helpless sleeper, cloaked in divine deception — part angel, part demon, all dread. The swirling background reflects the panic of a mind that’s awake while the body remains trapped, screaming silently in a world that doesn’t move.

This is not just a painting — it’s a memory. A lucid nightmare painted into permanence.
