Hanging in mid-air

There is a place, somewhere in the universe, where the laws of time and space no longer apply. An invisible threshold, a passage between what is and what could be. What lies on the other side has yet to be discovered...

“Hanging in mid-air” stands as a vibrant and poignant symbolic representation of the delicate balance between the tangible and the intangible. This painting explores that transitional zone where the elements of the earth barely brush against those of the sky, and where every viewer can sense the subtle tension between two realities that coexist yet never fully merge.

The dominant hues of the work play a crucial role in evoking this sense of in-betweenness. Blue evokes the infinity of the sky, an invitation to introspection and the search for meaning. Floating in the background, nearly ethereal, it hints at an unreachable distance, while the warmer tones that accompany the piece—golden and brown shades—recall solid ground, anchoring us in matter and reality. The contrast between these two elements—the celestial elevation and terrestrial weight—generates a sense of tension, as though the space between these dimensions is at once a field of questioning and possibility.

The use of light in “Hanging in mid-air” intensifies the ambiguity of this boundary. Light seems to spread fluidly across the canvas, like an energy rising from matter yet remaining connected to it. It is not merely an aesthetic effect but a central actor, a messenger between two worlds. Light appears to strive to transcend matter (the earthly realm), yet is always anchored within it, seeking its place in this uncertain space.

Symbolically, the painting “Hanging in mid-air” evokes the fragility of human existence. We, as human beings, are constantly drawn toward celestial, spiritual ideals, even as we remain rooted in a material, earthly reality.

Thus, this work invites viewers to reflect on their own place in the universe, on the invisible forces that shape our lives, on the fleeting nature of our human condition, and on the unseen bonds that connect us to something greater than ourselves.
