Big-eyed

The figure in the painting is reduced

to simple, geometric shapes, where large, oval eye forms dominate

the composition. The disproportionate large eyes and the contrast between

them and the minimalist form of the face might provoke reflection on the way

we see others and the world.

It is an attempt to analyze our experience of the world.

 

Through abstraction and figuration,

a space is created for dialogue

on human identity and emotions

in surrounding circumstances.

 

Line plays a significant role here, drawing the outline of the figure and separating

it from the background. The lines

are simple and clear. They create boundaries, dividing and connecting

at the same time. These are not just physical barriers but also metaphors

for the emotional and psychological limitations people face in times of crisis.

 

Although devoid of details, the figure

is decidedly human. Its exaggerated eyes may suggest an all-encompassing gaze… Large eyes are a window to the soul,

a metaphor for emotional response

to surrounding events.

A metaphor for perception.
