Between Life and Death
Between Life and Death
A suspended threshold.
“Between Life and Death” is an original work created in 2007. Painted in oil on plywood, the composition unfolds as a symbolic landscape where light becomes the central narrative element. Shadows fall over the cut tree trunks in the foreground, while a warm, golden luminosity spreads across the horizon, suggesting a passage rather than a conclusion. The scene evokes a quiet moment of transition, inviting contemplation on balance, loss, and renewal.

Artwork Description
The strength of this painting lies in its visual storytelling. The use of plywood as a support allows the oil paint to be worked in a compact manner, resulting in smooth, luminous surfaces that enhance the depth of the composition.
Symbolic contrast is conveyed through light: shadow settles over the felled tree trunks in the foreground, while a diffuse, golden glow gently envelops the horizon. This interplay creates a visual and emotional tension that speaks of transition rather than finality.
The double-finish wooden frame, dark on the exterior and light on the interior, functions as a perspectival lens. It guides the viewer’s gaze inward, drawing attention toward the luminous core of the scene and reinforcing the contemplative nature of the work.
