About the artwork

This image creates a strong emotional collision between historical elegance and futuristic alienation, evoking feelings of confusion, longing and aesthetic tension. The central figure on the right, in the style of a historical portrait with roses in her hair and rich clothing, radiates a gentle grace and timeless beauty. Her open, direct gaze conveys a certain warmth and innocence. This traditional aesthetic can evoke a sense of nostalgia and romance in the viewer. Opposite her on the left is a schematic, translucent depiction of a cyborg head that epitomises the cold and technological future. The superimposition of the two faces creates a deep emotional dichotomy: the struggle between human emotion and machine logic. This juxtaposition can evoke feelings of uncertainty and the existential question of what remains of human identity in today's world. The background is characterised by typographic chaos. The aggressive pink and red colours, together with the horizontal blue bars (which look like censorship), reinforce the feeling of information overload and visual noise. The whole scene conveys an emotional tension and melancholy. It is a reflection on the loss of the simple beauty of the past in the face of the unstoppable complexity and coldness of the mechanised present. The image is an invitation to contemplate the value of tradition and human feeling in the chaotic cyber-streetlife era.
