This work plays with the tension between structure and dissolution, between monochrome and colour, between visibility and concealment. The face, calm and expressionless, seems to emerge from a torn wall. The lips remain untouched, while the gaze is concealed by a narrow, broken gap.
Behind the cracks, however, there is an explosion of colour - bright red and deep turquoise burst out of the darkness, framed by golden fracture lines that run through the surface like precious scars. It is as if what is hidden is developing a life of its own, as if a new reality is emerging from behind the sterile, decaying façade.
The gold that stretches along the cracks is reminiscent of Kintsugi, the art of honouring the broken, but here it seems less like a healing and more like a mark - an indication that the truth lies hidden in the cracks. The dripping lines reinforce the feeling that the colours are slowly dissolving into the surroundings, as if the boundary between inside and outside is about to disappear.
"Hidden Colours - Broken Silence" challenges the viewer to reflect on what lies beneath the surface. It is a reminder that what we see is often just a shell - and that the cracks sometimes hide the most intense truths.
