Oil on paper

This artwork expresses a complex theme using symbolism and contrasting colors. It depicts a face divided into two halves, with each half representing a different aspect of personality or psychological state:

Contrasting Colors: The use of pink and yellow reflects the contrast between emotions or psychological states, such as joy and sadness or hope and fear.
Lock and Key: The presence of locks and keys suggests themes of mystery, secrets, or constraints surrounding the individual. The key in the center of the face might symbolize the need for liberation or self-discovery.
Eyes: The eyes offer a deep gaze, possibly reflecting introspection or observation of the outside world, revealing hidden emotions.
Keyholes: The keyholes suggest a search for answers or an attempt to understand the unknown.
This painting delivers a philosophical message, inviting contemplation of the different facets of human personality and what we hide behind masks and limitations.

Each painting is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, personally signed by the artist and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity to guarantee its originality.
