Original artwork description
Eternity Still Life, signed 17 January 2026, continues the slow, deliberate unfolding of the Kafkian eternity with flowers at 7 pm series, where time is neither linear nor suspended but endlessly folding back into itself. The work does not depict eternity; it behaves like it. What appears at first as a vertical vortex—half vegetal, half spectral—reveals itself as a paradoxical still life: motion arrested not by silence, but by exhaustion.
The chromatic field is dominated by aqueous turquoise, functioning less as background than as atmosphere. This color does not frame the central form; it absorbs it. Against this submerged infinity, the figure emerges as a wounded axis mundi—part bloom, part funnel, part eroded body. Purples and deep greens pulse through the structure like residual memory, while flecks of gold and pale pigment behave as temporal shrapnel, remnants of moments that failed to fully disappear. These marks do not decorate; they testify.
As in previous works from the series, the “flowers” are never floral in a botanical sense. They are after-images of flowering—states of becoming caught between growth and decay. The verticality suggests ascension, yet the downward pull of gravity and dissolution is relentless. The form rises only to collapse into itself, echoing Kafka’s logic of endless process without resolution. Eternity here is not grand or sublime; it is procedural, repetitive, and intimate.
The gesture oscillates between control and surrender. Brushstrokes appear both intentional and eroded, as if the painting were painted and weathered simultaneously. This duality reinforces the series’ core tension: existence as an act performed under conditions that constantly undo it. The “still life” becomes an ironic label—nothing is still, yet nothing escapes its position.
At 7 pm—the recurring, liminal hour of the series—light fades but does not vanish. Similarly, meaning in this work never clarifies, yet it refuses to extinguish. Eternity Still Life stands as a quiet, stubborn monument to duration: not eternity as infinity, but eternity as repetition endured. The painting does not ask to be solved. It asks to be inhabited, briefly, before the cycle continues.
