Original artwork description:

"Light in the Darkness" is an oil on canvas piece from Assunta Cassa's "Freedom" series. This painting was created in response to an artist call themed "Light in the Dark" and conveys a profound and timely message: the light to emerge from the darkness of our times resides within us, and we need to become aware of it.

The composition features a female figure depicted from behind, walking towards an intense light source. Dressed in a white dress and barefoot, the woman holds a pair of shoes in her hand, symbolizing an inner journey towards freedom and awareness. The light she walks towards symbolizes hope, inner guidance, and strength to overcome difficulties.

The background is characterized by a fusion of colored pixels ranging from red to orange, yellow, and finally to purple and blue, creating a chromatic transition that represents the passage from darkness to light. These fragmented and recomposed pixels reflect the complexity of modern life, where digital and physical realities continuously intersect.

Assunta Cassa's palette knife technique gives the painting a rich and dynamic texture, conveying the artist's energy and emotion. The contrast between the central light and the dark background emphasizes the theme of light as a symbol of hope and rebirth.

In moments of darkness and uncertainty, the light that guides us out is already within us. This painting invites us to become aware of our potential and inner strength to face and overcome the challenges of modern times. The female figure, in her journey towards the light, becomes a universal symbol of hope, resilience, and the search for truth.

"Light in the Darkness" is a profound reflection on the human experience, an invitation to look within and find that inner light that can illuminate even the darkest moments.
