Sometimes a face tells more than words ever can. This portrait shows an intense moment of emotion, where light soft neutral tones flow over the skin like tears. The subdued eyes, imbued with a melancholic gleam, seem to see through the viewer-open, vulnerable and at the same time full of strength. The neutral light colours, merge into a dreamy, almost fluid scene.
This work is a reflection on emotion and impermanence. Inspired by the idea that feelings are not static, but rather flow along the soul like paint, the sculpture plays with the boundary between reality and abstraction. The technique-a mix of hyperrealism and surrealist distortion-makes the work both intimate and elusive.
The mood is layered: soothing and comforting on the one hand through the soft colour transitions, and compelling and raw on the other through the intense gaze. 'Tears of pale colours' invites introspection and fits beautifully in an interior where art is more than decoration-where it enters into a dialogue with the space and the viewer.
