Fragments of Existence

Questo articolo è disponibile anche in: Italiano

Fragments of Existence is an abstract representation of a face that is in a state of metamorphosis, a portrait that blurs the boundaries between recognizable identity and emotional essence. The subject features an interplay of vibrant colors such as light blue and yellow, contrasted by intense touches of black, which blend to create a dynamic light and shadow effect. This play of colors gives the face a three-dimensionality that moves beyond the two-dimensionality of the canvas.

When a face loses its main features, there is also a loss of its conventional visual identity. However, what remains is the essence it emanates, its expression, which in this case exudes intensity and emotional depth. Although the distinctive lines and features of the face are dissolving, the presence of the being depicted is unmistakable. The painting captures a moment of transition, where recognizable forms dissolve, giving way to a more abstract and sensational impression.

The technique used is complex and layered, with broad brush strokes and black ink strokes adding a sense of raw definition against the soft background of blended colors. This combination of painting and graphic signs creates a visual dialogue that is both harmonious and complex, suggesting a process of continuous transformation. Through this visual metamorphosis, I explore the tension between the loss of visual identity and the persistence of intrinsic expression, offering the viewer an experience that is more felt than seen, more intuitive than described.
