Description from the seller
Collector's item.
100% hand-painted on cotton canvas.
Work sent without a frame, in a shipping tube via DHL Express.
Accompanied by COA, a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
In Suspension, time is compressed into an instant of absolute containment. The face, captured in profile, lies at a silent threshold between breathing and restraining, between abandonment and control. A green element — strange to the body, yet in intimate contact with it — passes through the closed eye, functioning simultaneously as a line, a barrier, and a gesture of interruption.
The work explores the tension between fragility and resilience, where the skin becomes a sensitive terrain and silence takes on physical weight. Extreme proximity eliminates any comfortable distance, forcing the observer to confront the suspended moment: a state in which action has been interrupted, but the consequence has not yet occurred.
