Bathers (2021) Pintura por Aeon

Oil on canvas, 80x100cm (31.5x39.4in), 2021.

I observed some scenes with people in the shallow water and tried to make a composition that would seem to me worthy. While sketching, I often catch myself on random thoughts, some of which I find pretty interesting. And I found if I give the serendipity some freedom to follow my thoughts, the result could be overwhelming. So such an approach makes it easy to interpret as I like, as I'm not sketching what I see but what it symbolizes instead. Anything that comes to mind would work, whether breathing mountains with eyes and mouths on a futuristic plateau or clusters of huge cosmic giant gods splashing within starry galaxies. All things are possible and given to your own interpretation as well.

✔ The painting is signed on the front and back. It is on a gallery-wrapped canvas with finished yellow/green edges and comes ready to hang. "Bathers" was created in June 2021 at the Otherworldly Dream Studio in Jerusalem.

About the series "Intelligent Water":

The changes we have wreaked on the Earth clearly show and are prescient of the future disaster. However, as an artist, I always strive to underline the presence of Light in every work (meaning the Light in a broader sense). I think this is our only hope in these dark times, and it is essential for me to identify my work precisely with that.

I like the hypothesis that Water is a thinking substance of Earth that catches the signals from the Ether and transforms them into some psychic energy. We are not independent creatures and are intensely dependent on Water (among other things), and it's a fact that hard to deny. We live on the living planet of an intelligent ocean, where, as in the Strugatskys' "Solaris," Water is a form of life. We are nothing more than carriers of particles of its intellect.

My inspiration for this project revolves and impels from around the beach area with a clear center point - interaction humans with Water. I started by observing and sketching people on the beach. Then I worked on actual paintings in the studio. As I wanted to make my work more laconic and neater, at some point, I felt the need to get rid of minor elements, leaving only the most "precious" ones. I also felt the minimalistic background could have an exciting impact on the composition. So I first made the background, then constructed the center elements using the prepared sketches.

I think of this series of paintings as bold surreal revelations that might equip us to consider radically new views of reality and reflect a unified picture of the world, where everything is infinitely interconnected.
