Description of the Artwork “Face (2)”
This painting is part of a series exploring the relationship of man with nature, embodied in a surreal style. Oil paints on the wooden panel add depth and saturation to the image, and a technique inspired by medieval painting provides detail and subtlety of execution. Images floating around the head, such as a fish and a tree, symbolize vitality and natural cycles, and the red color in some elements can represent the passion and energy of life. Floating celestial bodies and drops may symbolize the passing of time and the variability of existence.
