I float among the words (2026) Original Oil Painting by Gabriel - Cristian Matei

This work is part of a new painting project that explores human nature, focusing on moments when there is a gap between what we do and what we truly feel. At the same time, it subtly reflects on the condition of women in contemporary society, revealing the tension between assumed roles and inner life.

“She no longer dwells within the gesture she performs.
Her hands hang the laundry, yet her soul no longer belongs to the home.
Where there should be ground, there is only water.
Where there should be stillness, there is wind.
The fabrics no longer dry, they begin to whisper.
They drift and twist like words that can no longer be trusted.
She no longer looks for meaning in them.
She simply floats among them.
Because sometimes, it is not reality that falls apart,
but our faith in it.”
