Tempus Fugit (2025) Original Oil Painting by Félix Rubio

Tempus Fugit is a painting that explores the fleeting nature of time through a scene suspended between the intimate and the dreamlike. Two women converse at a table floating among clouds, surrounded by a serene and unreal atmosphere that evokes memory, elegance, and transition. The composition blends a figurative sensibility with a poetic and symbolic approach, where the sky becomes a mental and emotional landscape.

The brushwork is expressive and deliberate, combining fluid, visible strokes with a refined control of light and color. Subtle variations in texture and tone give the surface a vibrant, almost tactile quality, enhancing the sense of movement within stillness.

The work invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility of the moment, the ephemeral beauty of presence, and that subtle feeling that everything is passing—even when, for an instant, it seems to stand still.
