About the Artwork
Timeless Colors takes the viewer to Venice, but not into a familiar romantic postcard. In the background, the recognizable Santa Maria della Salute does not function as a classical landmark, but rather as a quiet anchor — timeless, stable, almost dissolving. What happens in the foreground, however, completely disrupts the expected view.
The gondolas, which usually carry the narrative, are here subjected to the idea of “substract its habits”: the form remains, but the function and meaning of the gondola mooring posts are displaced. The colored verticals are no longer merely decorative additions, but aggressively present — interrupting the view, rhythmizing the composition, and drawing the viewer’s gaze so forcefully that the traditional motif recedes almost unnoticed.
This is where the conceptual core of the work resides: that which we usually fail to notice because it is “too familiar” is removed or neutralized. In its place, color steps forward as experience itself. The intensity does not allow the viewer to maintain a comfortable distance — the gaze catches, wanders, searches for meaning, and only then realizes that the city is still there, simply in a different state.
The carnival of colors is a clear reference to February in Venice, but without an explicit costume or mask. It is carnival as a state of perception, not as an event. Like the city itself, this painting is timeless — not nostalgic, but in continuous presence. Timeless Colors does not ask what we see, but what we have become accustomed not to seeing.
