"My Pain, My Gain" - by Ian Thorpe


he paints....:)

The acrylic on canvas measures two metres by four metre and shows Thorpe cutting through the water with tiny human figures all over him.

"When I was a kid I used to imagine within my body there were all these mini people and the people in my goggles were the control room," Thorpe said.

"They were kind of like lemmings and they used to power everything in my body. I was always whipping them to make them work harder.

"That was my form of visualisation."
