This piece evokes the feeling of a “cave entrance,” not merely as a physical opening, but as a portal on the wall, a space where one dimension opens into another. The image is therefore not just something to be seen, but a “connection” between two spaces: interior and exterior, reality and dream.
When related to the dream image (chimera), where the chimera appears at the window, a structural and imaginative connection emerges. The vertical bands of color on the left and right resemble the layered curtains of a window from the other image. At the same time, they echo traces of pigment on a cave wall—like accumulations of time and surface. Color here is not singular; it exists as layers of different media superimposed, creating depth both physically and conceptually.
The artist explores a new technique. He created mineral-like textures using acrylic ombines oil paint with modeling paste, resulting in a surface that is thicker, denser, and more tactile.
The work reflects the experience of looking from the dark interior of a cave toward the light outside, where the eye perceives multiple colors simultaneously in a single moment. This piece thus acts as a threshold of perception, a space where many colors coexist, while the smaller works expand or isolate these colors into more specific, individual experiences.
Ultimately, this image is not only a cave entrance, but also the beginning of perception itself, a threshold, a portal, and a space where reality and dream continuously flow into one another.
