SHEDDING

This work captures a figure in the act of emergence, partially obscured by a translucent layer that both conceals and reveals. The stretched plastic-like surface becomes a metaphorical skin, suggesting transformation, resistance, and release. The vibrant red and green tones of the body create a striking contrast with the blurred, iridescent background, amplifying the sense of motion and metamorphosis.

The word “Shedding”, boldly inscribed in yellow, anchors the visual narrative: the process of discarding an old layer, an identity, or a limitation. The painting oscillates between opacity and transparency, intimacy and exposure, turning the act of struggle into an act of renewal.

By merging realism with abstraction and graphic text, the work explores the tension between confinement and liberation, reminding the viewer that growth often requires rupture and reinvention.
