In this work, I used a rich surrealist and abstract style — a journey inside the human self, between what appears to others and what hides in the depths.
In the foreground, cracked silver masks are scattered. They symbolize the many personalities a person wears throughout life — masks of strength, joy, silence, and adaptation. Their cracks suggest a moment when truth is revealed, when the artificial roles fall away, and the true self appears, with all its fragility and honesty.
In the background, the face of a woman rises, with a calm, deep gaze. She represents the soul, or the memory that watches over everything she has lived through. The single visible eye conveys the meaning of inner contemplation and insight rather than outward seeing.
The musical notes flowing across the painting embody memories and feelings that cannot be spoken in words; they are lived as hidden melodies that dwell in the heart. Music here is not sound, but a language of accumulated feeling — between joy and longing, between past moments and remembered ones.
At the top of the painting, the comet, or the heavenly flame, is a symbol of transformation or sudden inspiration — the moment that changes the course of a life and leaves an unforgettable trace.
On the right, architectural landmarks and a long road stretch through a luminous golden space. They symbolize the journey of life, with all its stations and dreams. The road is not straight; it is winding, marking that the way to one's true self passes through many turns and challenges.
Through reds and oranges, I express passion and inner energy; through blue, peace and spiritual depth; through gold and yellow, hope and self-discovery. Between masks that fell, and melodies that remained, the soul walks the paths of memory in search of truth.
