In this series, the artist immerses himself in the mysteries of the mind, allowing himself to explore and play with pictorial elements in a free and creative way.
The most notable thing in this work is the way in which the painter manipulates color and contrast to generate visual impact. By desaturating some elements and highlighting others, he manages to create a composition that catches the viewer's eye and invites him to reflect on what he sees.
The main figure, almost in black and white, contrasts strongly with three pyramids that occupy a prominent place in the work. These pyramids, each in a different primary tone, add a layer of mystery and meaning to the composition. What do these pyramids represent? What is your connection to the central figure?
The artist challenges the viewer to seek answers for themselves, to immerse themselves in the work and let themselves be carried away by the visual experience. Instead of offering explanations, it invites you to contemplate and reflect, to find your own meanings in each detail and in the interaction between the elements of the painting.
In short, "Lemnia I" is a work that transcends words and becomes a unique experience for each observer. It is a reminder of the beauty and depth that art can achieve when explored from creative freedom and introspection.
