Lisbet Cuellar (XX) - Inner conflict

Oil on canvas
Measures: 50 x 37 cm

This work explores the duality of the human condition through a figure shown from behind, embraced by a dark presence that seems to arise from its own body. The contrast between warm, luminous skin tones and the black silhouette creates a visual tension that symbolizes the constant dialogue between light and shadow, vulnerability and strength, identity and the unconscious.
The minimalist composition, set against a turquoise background, directs all attention to the body language and the emotional intensity of the scene. Rather than depicting a struggle, the work invites interpreting that embrace as an act of acceptance, reconciliation, and inner transformation.
It is a piece of contemporary figurative art that seeks to connect with the viewer through emotion, allowing space for personal interpretation.
