About the work

The scene holds you captive, whispering a story beneath its surface. One figure faces the viewer, her expression calm yet layered with unspoken meaning. The other, turned away, deepens the sense of duality—connection and distance, presence and absence. Behind them, a lone single-propeller airplane rests under a sign that reads ROY'S AIRPORT, a silent promise of departure, uncertainty, or something left behind. The vast, velvety night sky stretches endlessly, swallowing sound, while the pale, dusty ground anchors the figures in stark contrast. This tension—earthly and ethereal, stillness and motion—creates a moment frozen in time, thick with nostalgia and suspense. It feels like the second before everything changes. Hyper-realistic yet haunting, the composition mirrors a cinematic still, one that lingers in the mind long after. Where are they headed? What unspoken thoughts pass between them? As a child, you might’ve simply noticed the airplane. Now, the weight of the scene—its silence, its secrets—pulls you in. The artist masterfully balances intimacy and surrealism, drawing the viewer into the space between the familiar and the unknown. A choice lingers: flight or fight? The painting doesn’t just evoke adventure; it questions what we chase and what we leave behind. Crafted with premium Dutch acrylics on fine Italian canvas, sealed with satin varnish. The edges are painted for a seamless look. A signed and authenticated piece from the Life in Avatar series, securely packaged and ready to become part of your world.
