Description
Faces emerge, overlap and transform depending on the orientation of the painting.
The work is conceived as a reversible composition in which perception constantly shifts and no image remains fixed.
Fragments of profiles, graphic signs and vibrant colors interact within an unstable visual space where abstraction and figuration continuously merge. The painting can be viewed in multiple directions, creating new relationships, tensions and expressions each time it is turned.
Humor, ambiguity and visual instability play a central role in the composition. The faces seem to observe one another while simultaneously dissolving into pure rhythm, gesture and color.
Meaning
This work is part of my ongoing series Reversible Worlds, in which paintings are conceived without a single fixed orientation.
I am interested in the instability of perception and in the way meaning constantly changes according to viewpoint, context and interpretation. By physically turning the painting, new faces, emotions and relationships emerge, while others disappear.
The reversible structure becomes a metaphor for the fluidity of identity, memory and human perception. Humor also plays an important role: it creates openness and allows complexity to remain playful rather than rigid.
Rather than presenting a stable image, the painting invites viewers to actively negotiate their own reading of the work.
