 |
Oracle 2 1979 116 x 90, oil on canvas |
Just like a miner carries a torch on his helmet, so, this figure seeks himself with this very light: and it is a demon to appear in the deepest part of his consciousness. |
 |
The Journey 1979 95 x 100, oil on canvas |
The grieving soul undergoes its journey in the afterlife, with a demon to guide his way. As they pass, all the wings and leaves fold, as if they were accompanying their strut. Below, a mount worthy of Hades: a dragon. |
 |
Charon 1979 110 x 110, oil on canvas |
The soul descends towards Hades, the flower of life fades in colour and falls inside the boat, where Charon awaits ‘with eyes of ash’. Yet the wind that fills his sail seems to be blowing in the opposite direction to that of the tremendous journey. Perhaps the faded leaf is coming back to life, and Charon is looking elsewhere, after all... This is the mystery of the equilibrium, between going to Hades and returning. |
