Description of the work:
The piece "Liquid Process" (2023) explores the fluidity of time, identity, and human perceptions through an intense and dynamic portrait. Inspired by the sociological concept of "liquid modernity," the composition reflects the mutability of memory and the speed with which the image of oneself and emotions transform. The visual contrast between the powder-blue background, the vivid flesh tones, and the chromatic impact of red lips guides the viewer into a deep contemplative experience. At the lower edge, intentional color drips create a tangible link to the painting material and the artist's gesturality.
