Original artwork description:

At the core of this series lies the idea that despite the multitude of personas we exhibit, there exists an indelible trait that defines our true essence. This singular characteristic, an immutable facet of our being, acts as a beacon of our genuine intentions, desires, and spiritual state. In these portraits, symbolic elements emerge from the faces, creating a surreal interplay between the internal and external worlds. Butterflies, representing transformation and the ephemeral nature of life, flutter from the features of some characters, while flowers suggest growth and the beauty found within. Women's legs, tools, and money materialize from others, signifying desires, ambitions, and the tangible aspects of existence. These elements are not mere adornments but integral components that reveal deeper truths about the subjects. Each painting in the series is a visual exploration of this inner multiplicity, rendered with an attention to detail that captures the ephemeral nature of our external facades while hinting at the underlying constant. The dynamic interplay of colors and textures not only enhances the visual impact but also evokes a sense of introspection, challenging the viewer to look beyond the surface.
