Unique Work
In this deeply symbolic piece, a figure reclines amidst oceanic blues and blood-red sun, evoking a surreal mythic birth or transformation.
The body, nude and relaxed, is intertwined with a serpent often a sign of life force, change, and the cyclical nature of existence. Coral-like foliage grows from the limbs, as if the figure is both part of nature and becoming nature itself.
The mask, painted with stark colors and emotionless eyes, creates a tension between the inner self and the outer appearance suggesting themes of identity, performance, and hidden emotion. Behind, the dark waves and setting sun give the piece a ritualistic quality, one of shedding layers and confronting truth. The portal-like square hints at escape, rebirth, or a return leaving us unsure whether the figure is emerging or being swallowed by her surroundings.
