Description

Past Lives

Past Lives unfolds like an archaeological fresco of memory, where fragmented figures, sketched faces, and sculptural bodies emerge from luminous blocks of colour. The composition resembles a wall of time, layers of ochre, grey, and soft pinks capturing the erosion and survival of ancient forms. Classical silhouettes appear beside ghostly line drawings, suggesting lives once lived, remembered, or imagined. At the bottom, a procession of faces drifts across the canvas like relics resurfacing from centuries of silence. Through these shifting presences, the painting meditates on continuity and impermanence, offering a poetic vision of humanity as both fragile and enduring, echoes that persist across epochs, carried by art, myth, and the texture of memory itself.
