Original artwork description:

In "Archeology," I delve into the depths of human consciousness and the fragmented nature of our collective past. This large-scale painting is a vivid representation of my hallucinatory experiences, where forms and figures emerge from the canvas as if unearthed from the strata of memory and time. The composition is an abstract tapestry of colors and textures, with figures appearing and disappearing in a dreamlike fashion.

The vibrant hues of green, purple, yellow, and red swirl together, creating a sense of movement and fluidity, as though the very earth itself is alive with stories waiting to be told. The figures within the painting are both haunting and enigmatic, their features partially obscured, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. They seem to be in a state of perpetual transformation, embodying the idea that our understanding of history and identity is always evolving.

The dark background contrasts sharply with the bright, almost luminous colors, highlighting the tension between the known and the unknown. This painting is not just a reflection of my internal experiences but also a commentary on the nature of discovery and the ever-shifting sands of human knowledge. Through "Archeology," I invite viewers to explore the layers of their own consciousness and to consider the ways in which our perceptions of the past shape our present and future.
