I believe that every canvas hanging in a wall must tell a story. Not another one’s story but the one that represents you or the moment of time you are living.
While creating each piece of art, I try to bring elements and symbols of what the initial meaning of the canvas was to me, but without being so explicit to prevent any other story or interpretation.
This is a very special representation of Marilyn, the antithesis of the most famous pictures of her where she is extroverted, sensual… Here we can find her in an “inner – reflection” position looking through the window, we could think she might be thinking about her past, maybe guessing about things to come… Triangles are telling you this story. Her story on what she was, and what she could have been. The squares represent the “fictional” life she was having towards the public, a transparent veil on her that in the end it’s just something ethereal, ephemeral.
In many cultures, triangles are one of the most complex and meaningful symbols. They represent balance and wisdom through their proportion but they also have a very especial meaning which is related to the three stages of time: past, present and future. Through the colours and direction of each triangle, I believe everyone can relate each triangle to their present and past experiences and hopes for the future.
If you ever purchase this canvas and wish to share with me what this canvas represents to you I will be really grateful to read your story.
