AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Title: On a Journey
Year: 2019
Dimensions : 72 x 41 x 7 cm
Technique: Papier-mâché on a wooden frame
Editions: UNICO
Shipped with the author's authentication.
The sculpted panel depicting a human figure who crosses the veil of illusion to embark on the journey toward knowledge could be interpreted as a symbolic representation of the individual's progression from superficiality to depth, from confusion to clarity.

The central figure is often a symbol of an individual who is performing a significant act of awareness. Their posture could be solemn and determined, a body moving toward the unknown with a confident stride, as if to convey the idea of a journey that is as much intellectual as existential.
The 'veil' or 'curtain' of illusions represents false perceptions, limiting beliefs, and prejudices that obscure the vision of reality. It could be sculpted as an ethereal, translucent fabric that envelops the figure, as if it were a barrier that separates reality from perception.
