Who are you? What truly defines you? To answer these questions, one must look within, diving deep to uncover the essence of their being. The allegorical painting ‘Deeper’ explores this profound journey of self-discovery and the search for identity. The artwork portrays a man plunging his head into the water, symbolizing the quest to find something hidden within the depths of his own consciousness. Emerging from these depths, his second self gazes back at him, an unspoken plea in its eyes—a silent presence that speaks to the soul. They are connected by delicate bubbles, like invisible threads binding his outer self to his inner essence.
The inspiration for this painting comes from the eternal human struggle to understand the self beneath the surface—the layers we build, the masks we wear, and the truths we hide. In ‘Deeper’, the act of immersion signifies peeling back these layers to confront the unknown parts of ourselves, to listen to the quiet call of our true nature. It is a visual metaphor for introspection and the courage to face one’s inner world, where clarity often comes from silence and connection to what is most authentic within.
‘Deeper’ is an original painting in which I explore my own inner world, reflecting personal experiences and the search for his identity and deeply buried self. This painting is a piece of luxury art, signed front and back, mounted on wooden bars and ready to hang. It will decorate the home of a true connoisseur of painting, giving hours of deep reflection and enjoyment.
