Internal Narrative and Creative Framework

Inner Narrative
The painting explores the relationship between photography and painting and the phenomenon of perceiving fleeting moments and movement, emphasizing the ephemerality of the photographic image.
The key to interpreting the work
It is worth noting the use of blur, which connects the photographic source with the painterly interpretation, as well as the theme related to mobility and time in art.See other works by this artist
