ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Borders" is born from a reflection on the human tragedies that accompany war, specifically inspired by the conflict in Ukraine, but resonating with the universal experience of all those forced to leave their homes. The portrait captures the face of an individual caught in uncertainty, with an expression that blends resilience, sorrow, and hope. The subdued background suggests a limbo, a space between the past and the future, between the lost home and the unknown place they are heading to. The military jacket worn by the subject hints at a connection to the war, yet the humanity that emanates from their face reminds us that, beyond the conflict, these are human beings seeking a place to belong. "Borders" is a tribute to all those who, amidst adversity, continue their journey with the hope of finding peace and safety on the other side of the borders. (Displayed measurements of the piece include the frame; inner panel measurements are 40 x 50 cm.)

My foray into painting emerged as a measure of sanity in response to the isolation and loneliness that enveloped me during the COVID-19 pandemic. What began as an experiment gradually solidified into a daily routine, as my artistic expression became infused with narratives and fictions, where characters left the canvas and began to fill spaces with presences and stories—echoes of a magical realism that permeated my formative years and, two decades later, found a corner where they could take root and materialize, in spaces inhabited by expectant gazes, expressions, and gestures that continue to reveal new nuances day by day. For this reason, my work focuses on individuals with high expressiveness, with whom I have established a connection before deciding to interpret them. I complement them with the negative space in each scene, where this void is used to present an atmosphere of isolation and intimacy that seeks to share a meeting point based on vulnerability.
