The True Art

The idea dates from 1996, but it took a great deal of effort and another whole year to realise it. It has never satisfied me, though. The original project also included a sculpture of one of my 1995 works, which was left out in the rush. Above all, the lighting doesn't convince me: the sun in the painting was supposed to “come out” of the canvas, but it stays flat and doesn't convey the sense of three-dimensionality I wanted. The shadows don't satisfy me either. A pity about the execution, because the idea was truly good. I don't rule out a remake sometime soon...
