Never Lost Hope

"Purgatory of Venus" was inspired by my older artwork, "Sweet purgatory", but this time the elements of beauty are hidden in the world's ugliness. Its primary focus is to make the viewer feel suffocated, trapped, and helpless. As you go from top to bottom, you notice how the persons trapped inside found "peace" and abandoned all hope to escape, finding beauty and calmness in the worst possible outcome.

The third painting of the "Antithesis" collection, "The last bull" depicts a surrealist-dystopian scenery inspired by "The last supper" and takes it further into the future. Its purpose is to use elements of the past to create a present and familiar background with the intention to signal a warning to our not-so-distant future. The main character painted in the middle of the scene is a younger version of "The last man" and it is served to eat the head of a bull, a metaphor for what's meant to be the final taste of greed and gluttony that's left for humanity, a final chapter of prosperity that will be concluded with the decline of the human species.

As a way of celebrating 1 year since minting my first NFT, "Self Replica", the 4th artwork that completes the "Morphosis" collection, stands as a symbol of appreciation towards my earliest and biggest supporters.

Thank you!

Self Replica

The only promise life will always keep towards us, is death.

Widow of the unborn

The blind vulture of death followed the sweet taste of greed, pride, lust and envy of the man untill the end of the earth, where the blind man stopped in front of his destiny, waiting to be consumed, unable to taste again the pleasure that once he called life.

Anima Perdita

I am trapped inside my head, and I have the key to get out;  
why do I choose to stay?  
I am trapped in the limbo, there was no mother to feed me in my first day.

"The last man" is the second artwork of the Antithesis collection and it depicts a story of solitude, agony, sorrow, and a future long forgotten. The subject is holding bright red roses and a melting clock, inspired by Salvador Dali, as Dawn Adès wrote, "The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order".

The flowers may appear to be a romantic symbol, as the subject is in love with his nature and limitation, however, their purpose turns to be changed as he climbed the stairs high enough, turning into a symbol of beauty for a body that's decomposing as it's climbing higher and higher.
The only spectator is the moon, as it is watching him curious as to whether he'd climb more stairs or give up on his pursue.
As for last, the burning note on the right top of the corner is a poem by William Blake that says :
"My mother groaned, my father wept,
Into the dangerous world I leapt;
Helpless, naked, piping loud,
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Struggling in my father's hands,
Striving against my swaddling bands,
Bound and weary, I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast. "

"Alienated" is an interactive artwork that hides a cipher-puzzle inside it. 

It depicts a surrealist scene of the birth of an artist that wonders a vast desert in his own flying cage.

"Puppet Master" is an opening towards a new adoption of style and elements. It depicts the transgenerational trauma or beliefs that are being passed on, while all being connected to the same root that blindly guides it in an empty desert.

SOUL PUPPET

"But man has an invincible inclination to allow himself to be deceived and is, as it were, enchanted with happiness when the rhapsodist tells him epic fables as if they were true, or when the actor in the thea ter acts more royally than any real king. So long as it is able to deceive without injuring, that master of  deception, the intellect, is free; it is released from its former slavery and celebrates its Saturnalia. It is  never more luxuriant, richer, prouder, more clever and more daring. "

Self Prisoner

I ran out of red, my hand couldn't paint anymore,
eyes are watching, I can't stand still.

I am at war with myself, and my thoughts are lost.



Lost my mind

"SYSTEM FAILURE" challenges our understanding of privacy and the pervasive presence of surveillance technology in our lives. By shifting the perspective through the lens of the CCTV camera, the artwork prompts us to reflect on the consequences of constant scrutiny and the disquieting beauty that can emerge from technological breakdowns.

Fragments

Can the essence of art truly be disentangled from the identity of its creator? This captivating artwork serves as a conduit for contemplating the unique relationship that unfolds between the viewer, the artwork itself, and the artist behind its creation.

Crime Paradox

The culprit.

A song of life, under a tree of ghosts, 
Puts to sleep every soul that's lost.
Empty flowers on a blank, white floor,
hold secrets, whispers, a ghostly lore.
No hues, just shades of the past,
a spectral ballet, a monochrome contrast.


Cello Whispers

...my melody keeps me alive, 
although I seek freedom,
I'm a slave to my purpose,
I wish I could be less of me,
but, that's only a dream.
I crossed paths with the goods,
the devils, the kinds and the greed,
so what's there left
that I haven't seen?
Why do I keep playing my notes?
Why do I keep dance?
Is it for you? Is it for me?
Is it for remembering? 
I'll never know, and I wish that I won't.
Faceless, my smile is gone,
But I'll keep playing this
with the hope,
that one day it will guide me back home.
