"Centuries have passed"

2024
100cm x 120cm x 4cm
Oil paint and charcoal on canvas
 
As base of the minimalistic painting „Centuries have passed“ I used a poem I wrote as background (2024, „An empty pit“). The words are written with willow charcoal on a merely gessoed canvas. The topic of the poem is a nearly forgotten person, who is also very present and a source of inspiration and yearning. The figure is relating to the vibe of the poem: leaning into the nearly forgotten memory, a state of looking inside, dreaming. The tiny goldfish on the upper right side of the figure can be seen as connection to being present and aware in the now - while „under water“ (the subconscious).

Please aske for price.
