Q-code of the person (2017)Oil painting by Yaroslav Kurbanov

In this painting, I have depicted a face dissolving into the grid of a QR code, symbolizing the merging of humanity and technology. Each feature of the face transforms into an element of the digital structure, gradually vanishing into this flow of data. The image not only digitalizes appearance but also reflects the idea that in the future, our entire lives will be governed by technology, and identity may be reduced to a collection of numbers and codes.

I wanted to show how rapidly we are moving towards a world where every step, every action, every experience is recorded and encoded. The face in the painting is not just an image of a person, but a metaphor for the loss of individuality and privacy in an era of all-encompassing digitalization.

For me, this work is not only a reflection on the future, but also a warning. What will happen if we forget what it means to be human? When everything we feel is measured and analyzed? This face, with its absence of expression and emotion, is an image that forces us to question whether we have lost touch with ourselves in our rush to integrate into the digital world.
