About the art
Artist statement
This series of 3 pcs paintings is called Phantom Planet.This the 1st of the 3.Its titled: EXILE.
The exile in modern society is the man who sees and understands and yet cannot belong. This painting explores the deep emptiness that the loss of culture and heritage brings, the purgatory-like backdrop accompanied by somber hues of red and pink amid recollections of the past culminating in the form of ghosts that haunt and plague the ambiguous, corporeal figure. In this crimson chaos, the figure yearns to conquer that which he has lost and wishes to reclaim for himself in the present, these spectres gradually floating away from him into oblivion—finally, the question remains: what are we if not our memories?
