Caves

Painting, Acrylic and mixed media on canvas

Size: 100 W x 100 H x 4 D cm

« Caves » is a painting that refers to my novel with the same title « Caves » (Shpellat) published two years ago by Mediaprint publishing house. The entire canvas is covered with book pages which are then splashed and covered with colorful paints.
In the center of the artwork is the book itself, immersed in plaster, with its white pages shining on the dark background, giving a parallelism with the light that knowledge and literature brings to our lives, lifting us above the gloom of reality.
Around the book are joined as a collage objects which refer to the period of isolation due to corona virus when I wrote the book: gloves, face mask and a cord that I often wore on my head while writing.
