Struggle in the silence

Self-portrait painted in the studio (using mirror). I started thinking about this self-portrait during quarantine and I wanted to find a color contrast which reflects collision the entire world is obsessed by. Black and red shapes here is a symbol of different forces that collides. We all - people – are right in the center of this battle. At the same time, we need to realize, that the universe is bigger than this (situation), just because it contains all those forces, people, challenges, our life before and after, and more and more. The big portion of white canvas represents that big universe and silence, beyond everything we experience nowadays. And while we stay at home, we may touch that silence and think about it... We will overcome in this struggle, and then the new world will come out of that silence. A better world.
