"What Was Taken from the Water" is an artistic endeavor that explores the origin of forms through paint. This project begins by capturing diverse perspectives of the river, using these records as a springboard to define the multifaceted meanings behind the image. Through the medium of painting, the project delves into the river's ever-changing dimensions and the myriad reflections that dance upon its surface.
Painting is a technique that revels in the art of lingering in time, seeking to extend moments, meanings, emotions, and experiences. The goal is to create an impression that feels authentic, not only in its final outcome but also in the process itself. The river defies definition; it is meant to be contemplated precisely because it is never static, never fully graspable. What can be glimpsed in a fleeting moment has already slipped away, and by attempting to hold onto it, one loses its essence. The river is in constant flux, shaped by the interplay of elements such as the wind, the sun, rocks, luminosity, and rhythm.
This ever-changing nature arises from a figure in perpetual motion, never quite the same, yet paradoxically recognizable. The river's true essence reveals itself depending on how one approaches and engages with it. It unfolds as a spectrum of perspectives, yielding a diverse range of interpretations. It embodies an objective, graspable form while simultaneously embracing the abstraction of multiple nuances. It becomes a constant dialogue between figuration and abstraction, mirroring the allegorical model of infinite facets.
"What Was Taken from the Water" encapsulates the essence of this dynamic and enigmatic river. It seeks to capture the elusive form of the river, evoking a sense of awe, wonder, and contemplation.
