Division of Realities.

This fascinating painting, titled “Division of Realities,” is an oil on panel work measuring 38x55x2.5 cm and was created in 1997. The artist has divided the image into three vertical stripes, reminiscent of a flag, where each section represents a distinct and autonomous reality. On the left, against an intense carmine red background, a pastel-colored teddy bear stands out, evoking the innocence and nostalgia of childhood. In the center, against the neutral gesso background, we find the delicate graphite drawing of a girl sitting with her back turned, conveying introspection and vulnerability. On the right, a golden background houses a cup holding a rose and water, symbolizing ephemerality and beauty. The absence of connection between the elements and the unique treatment of each invites the viewer to reflect on the complexity of human experiences, while their unified arrangement within the painting suggests a harmonious coexistence of these disparate realities.
