Original artwork description:

This watercolor artwork, created in 2023, portrays a mesmerizing landscape with elements of illusion and eternity. At the center of the composition, there is a golden circle symbolizing infinity and the endless flow of time. Inside the circle, a collage of plant photos is arranged one above the other, forming a complex pattern representing the manifold aspects of life and existence.

The focal point is a stunning parrot with a golden pattern on its beak. Perched at the edge of the circle, the parrot gazes out as if an observer of different realities connected to the infinity of time. Its presence symbolizes the spirit of freedom, elusiveness, and the uniqueness of life.

Meanings of the painting:

Transience of Being: The artwork reminds us that time inexorably passes, and each moment slips away like a drop of water evaporating into the air. The golden circle, from which the parrot peers out, emphasizes the futility of trying to hold onto every moment, as they all vanish as part of the eternal flow of time.
Interweaving of Essences: The patterns on the plant photos and the parrot's beak symbolize the intricate interconnectedness of all entities in nature. Every living and non-living element is linked and intertwined, forming a marvelous symphony of life. Each component in this artwork – the parrot, plants, and patterns – plays its role in the unified mosaic of existence.
Illusion of Eternity: The golden circle may evoke the concept of eternity or the cyclical nature of life and death. However, it can also be an illusion of eternity, as one can always find a beginning and an end in this infinite cycle, pointing to the relativity of the notion of time and its perception.
This painting invites viewers to contemplate the hidden connections among all entities in the world and to cherish life as a precious gift to be treasured in every moment. Combining philosophy and aesthetics, it can inspire profound reflections on one's own life and the surrounding universe.
