Telephone and thistle

In this painting, simplicity and symbolism are intertwined through two central elements: an old telephone and a thistle plant. Both objects, devoid of active life, speak to us of the passage of time. The telephone, a symbol of communication, now silent, contrasts with the dried thistle, which once had life. Placed on a shelf in the artist’s studio, these elements become metaphors for memory and abandonment. The work, patiently constructed with multiple layers, reflects a process of creation that is as meticulous as the decay it portrays, evoking a reflection on the ephemeral and the permanent.
