ANANKE

Ananke (Oil painting on canvas art by Giuseppe Dorazio)

"Everything I do is to believe in divergent thinking, to believe that there is a different perspective; the way I challenge research, leads art into passion, an archetype into a painting, an emotion into a story."

-----

"Ananke" is the depiction of the constriction of time, the single moment in which everything happens, where desire is born unexpectedly, that single moment in which the inevitable and ineluctable force of desire manifests itself.


"... The painting "ANANKE" stands out for its ability to capture the essence of time and passion in a single moment. The depicted scene, portraying a couple engaged in a passionate embrace amidst warm ochre and brownish-red hues, conveys a sense of intimacy and fervor.

The centerpiece of the composition is the embrace itself, symbolizing the moment when desire unexpectedly takes over in a overwhelming manner. Despite the woman's forward-leaning position, the clear sense of complicity and mutual attraction between them is evident, creating an atmosphere of deep and irresistible connection.

Particularly significant is the man's gentle gesture of his hand slipping between the woman's legs, adding another dimension to the visual narrative. This gesture represents the irresistible force of desire suddenly bursting forth, enveloping the protagonists in passion and pleasure, creating a moment of shared desire.

Overall, "ANANKE" emerges as a powerful symbol of the inevitable and unstoppable force of human desire, capturing in a single moment the complexity of emotions and feelings associated with passion. Its ability to convey a sense of suspended temporality and profound intimacy makes this painting an extraordinary visual and emotional experience for the viewer... "
