Expressive and gestural figuration combined with very intimate imagery, strongly inspired by the personal ghosts emerging from the subconscious, internal journeys and rituals, histories and secrets, emotional states and childhood, as well as the unexplainable metaphysics of life. This project tells a story about a lost home and the search for identity. To be lost and found in this perpetual life journey, seeking, exploring, understanding -composing, and decomposing personal reality! Characters are captured as frozen in the grid of time, silently trying to break free and escape. Figures are almost abstract, faces are partially defined and the focus is on the empty eyes. Through these shallow eyes staring straight at the viewer, a person feels questioned and provoked. When the disturbing contact is made one can travel to the invisible world – almost as if the portraits are mirrors, revealing who are we or making us wonder and reflect deeper about our existence. The colour palette ranges from burning red to green shades of the deep dark ocean, leading us into the underground levels of subconscious. Melancholic and silent, this project ultimately speaks of the human experience and all the beautiful ways in which sadness can manifest itself.
