Symbolic (2025) Pintura por Siyavash Chegeni

Color Palette: The use of pastels and watercolor tones gives the image a dreamlike, fluid quality. Bold lines and geometric shapes contrast this softness, adding structure and tension.
• Central Themes: There’s a recurring interplay between human figures, eyes, abstract patterns, and symbolic objects (like trees, animals, and geometric forms).

Key Elements & Interpretation
1. Top Center (Eye and Lips): The single large eye and lips evoke surveillance or introspection, a common surrealist motif (reminiscent of Magritte or Dali).
2. Upper Right (Screaming Figure): A distorted face with wild colors and expression suggests anxiety or chaos—perhaps a subconscious fear or inner turmoil.
3. Center Left (Blue Raindrop Shape with a Symbol): This looks like a teardrop or water fountain, symbolizing emotion or cleansing. The symbol inside it could be read as an abstract or cultural reference.
4. Bottom Left (Dog and Figures): The dog adds an element of loyalty or innocence. The small figures and Madonna-like icon near it suggest family or protection.
5. Bottom Right (Children in Cracked Earth): The cracked earth and children could represent hardship or fragility, possibly alluding to displacement or trauma.
6. Geometric Forms: The use of pyramids, prisms, and rectangles create a fragmented, almost cubist sense of space, reflecting confusion or multiple realities.
