Original artwork description:

Take a moment. Really look.
What do you feel when you see the figure standing with their back turned, next to a timeless black car? Maybe you recognize someone. Or maybe… it’s a reflection of you?

In this painting, silence almost speaks.
The contrast between the deep black of the figure and the car, and the pale, misty background, draws you into a space where memory and imagination quietly unfold.

Delicate lines — like fragile branches — guide your eye across the canvas, gently suggesting a story just beyond reach.
The painting blends realism with subtle abstraction, leaving room for you to fill in the blanks, to make it your own.
Each viewer sees something different — and yet everyone senses that same moment of stillness. Of something about to happen.

Do you feel it?
That calm mixed with tension, like a long-forgotten dream on the edge of returning. Like film noir before the twist.
You don’t just observe this work — you enter it.

The piece is created using mixed media.
A textured paste infused with fine glass particles is applied and sanded to a smooth finish, giving the surface its unique tactile depth. Dutch acrylic paints (Amsterdam) are used on high-quality Italian cotton canvas by Unico. The artwork is finished with a soft satin varnish. The edges are painted to match the background, so it’s ready to hang — no frame needed.

This painting is part of the series “Life in Avatar” — a meditation on memory, transformation, and identity.
