Floating interior Painting by Justine Formentelli

Painting: Acrylic, Oil, oil pastel on Canvas.

In this piece, I wanted to play on the idea of concealing and revealing (with the transparency and opacity of different areas of the painting) and continue to erase the frontiers between the seen and the unseen.

 During the making of that work, i was also thinking of the nature of memory, how some stick forever, how some slide off our consciousness and seem to disappear, how our memories make who we are, how our past however forgotten still has a hold on us, on our present and future.
