When conceiving this artwork, I was inspired by Lars Von Trier's movie Melancholia.
It's about the contemplative attitude during a catastrophic event, about the refusal to face a tough reality. My artwork is a visual metaphor of human weakness counterposed to the imminent force of nature... or maybe chance?
It belongs to my "Magic Expressionism" series. It is not expressionism, surrealism, post-modernism, or new abstract etc. It's a paraphrase to the concept of "Magic Realism" - that generally describes the well known artistic movement in the South American Literature, but not only -, brought to the field of visual arts.

- the exact size is 144 x 97 cm / 56.69 x 38.18 inches.
- I applied to it more isolating layers of satin final varnish.
- it has about 7-8 cm (3 inches) extra white margin on the edges, in order to be stretched on wooden frame later on.
===============
It will be shipped rolled, in a hard tube. I recommend taking the artwork to a professional framer, in order to have it re-stretched.
