The Image is "... a study of the illusionary reality world within the schizophrenic mind of the artist at his point of creativity." The boy in the painting is mearly a facet of the artist's own personality, which becomes too real for him and so he tries to destroy that side of his own personality - the side which he doesn't like. What we see when we watch this is what the painter is seeing and hearing, not what is physically real.
Can you explain one thing to me? Why does the artist want to kill the guy from his painting (Bowie)? Is there a real point to him murdering him?
