“Unstable Icon” reworks a recognizable historical image, transforming it into a fluid and unstable vision. The scene, originally charged with tension and symbolic meaning, is deformed until its edges become uncertain, as if observed through constantly moving matter.

The figures emerge and disappear at the same time, trapped on a surface that seems to melt. This process does not destroy the image, but unsettles it, suspending it between memory and transformation.

The work reflects on the fragility of icons and their capacity to change over time: what was once a symbol of strength and identity becomes something unstable here, open to new interpretations. An image that no longer imposes itself as truth, but dissolves to make room for a more emotional and contemporary perception.

Oil on canvas 350 g/m², mounted on a pine wood frame. Frame not included.

"It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
