About the art
Artist statement
"Limen" – A Latin word meaning "Threshold", symbolizing the border between the seen and unseen, the natural and the subconscious, reality and illusion.
Philosophy & Concept Description:
"Limen" explores the fragile boundary between perception and reality, where nature, memory, and human presence merge into a dreamlike continuum. The layered composition creates a sensation of looking through a veil—suggesting hidden stories, forgotten pasts, or a subconscious world lurking beneath the surface.
The vertical elements resemble both tree trunks and barriers, blurring the line between enclosure and freedom. Ethereal figures emerge and dissolve within the shifting light, evoking themes of transience, time, and interconnectedness. The outer frame reinforces the idea of perception—reminding the viewer that what we see is often just a fragment of a deeper, more intricate reality.
With its immersive presence and deep conceptual foundation, Limen is more than a painting—it is an invitation to step beyond the threshold and question what lies beyond.
