Description from the seller

In art, an unfinished work can be a deliberate choice. Some artists voluntarily halt their work before its conclusion, leaving it up to the observer to complete it with their own imagination. In these cases, what is missing is not a flaw, but an integral part of the work.
Even psychology has devoted a great deal of attention to this concept. In 1927 Lithuanian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed that people tend to remember interrupted tasks more easily than completed ones. This phenomenon, today known as the Zeigarnik Effect, suggests that what remains unresolved continues to occupy our minds more than what has already been completed.
Perhaps we are not drawn to perfection.
We are drawn to what still leaves space for a possibility.
Because an unfinished state is not necessarily something that is missing.
It can simply be something that continues to evolve.

- Originality: Each work is an original piece, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
- Condition: The work is professionally mounted on a wooden frame and is ready to hang, with no further interventions or processing required.
- Protection: Careful packaging with professional materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.
- Shipping: Fast shipping. For shipments outside the European Union, delivery times may vary depending on local customs procedures.

Some images may present the work inserted into illustrative settings to facilitate viewing in different contexts or with different framing solutions. The proportions are consistent with the real dimensions of the work.
