Original artwork description
This painting is a reflection on how the way we transmit feelings and meanings is changing in the modern world. In front of the viewer is a face composed of fragments, geometric shapes, and planes of color that resemble at once a mosaic, a digital cipher, and a QR code. The human image here seems to be decomposed into a language of signs, algorithms, and symbols.
The facial features can be guessed, but they cannot be read directly. Emotion is present, but it is encrypted — hidden in the structure, in the rhythm of forms, in the intersections of color flows. A human being turns into a code, and feeling turns into information that another person can no longer always decode without an intermediary.
This work speaks about how people increasingly hide behind digital images — profiles, avatars, filtered versions of themselves. Behind this visual “mask,” the ability to read living, non-digital emotions — through a glance, an intonation, a presence — is gradually being lost.
When the image is converted into black and white, the painting can be read by a gadget as a QR code. This turns the work itself into a metaphor: to “read” a person, a device is now increasingly required. A machine understands the code faster than a human understands a feeling.
It is no coincidence that the work contains an encrypted element: when the image is converted into black and white, it can be scanned with a gadget like a QR code. This becomes a metaphor for the very idea itself: in order to “read” what is hidden, a human increasingly needs a machine. And the question arises — are we losing, along the way, the ability to understand each other without intermediaries?
