Original artwork description
Title: Wish
Series: Heart of the Heart
Wish unfolds like a quiet scene from an unwritten play — intimate, symbolic, and deeply human.
At the center of the composition, a small, almost fragile figure drags its own heart, tied with a rope, across an undefined space — pulling it toward an oversized “house of the heart.” The scale is deliberately distorted: the human presence is minimal, while the emotional destination is monumental. This contrast becomes the core metaphor — how something so personal can feel impossibly heavy, and yet essential to carry.
Rooted in a theatrical sensibility, the painting reads like a stage moment frozen in time. The character is both performer and witness, engaged in a silent act of devotion, effort, and longing. The rope becomes a line of tension — between self and desire, between burden and purpose.
As part of the Heart of the Heart series, Wish explores that innermost space where intention turns into action — where wanting something deeply means being willing to carry it, no matter the weight.
Executed in a contemporary figurative language with expressive undertones, the work embraces simplicity to amplify meaning. The rawness of the gesture, the poetic symbolism, and the emotional clarity give the piece a strong, immediate impact.
This is not just a painting — it’s a journey in miniature.
A compelling piece for collectors drawn to narrative-driven contemporary art, where metaphor, emotion, and subtle theatrical influence come together in a powerful visual statement.
