Original artwork description:

is a painting about the moment when the human figure can no longer be supported by its own image. The bodies appear suspended in a fictional aquatic environment, where color does not describe water, but the psychic and temporal pressure that acts on memory and identity.

The surfaces are simultaneously eroded and reconstructed, as if the gaze were crossing layers of time, not just layers of pigment. One of the characters begins to disappear, not as an aesthetic effect, but as a form of surrender — a point at which the figure ceases to negotiate with the viewer and becomes fragile, almost absent.

The work functions as a field of tension between presence and dissolution, between pictorial gesture and ruin. The blue, far from being soothing, becomes a zone of pressure, a space in which bodies do not float, but are slowly absorbed.
