About This Painting

Immerse yourself in "The Equilibrium Effect," a profound oil painting that measures 120x90 cm. The artwork depicts a person suspended in a gravity-defying pose, their body elegantly arched backwards, clad in a flowing white garment that cascades unnaturally, defying gravity. This representation of the subject, caught outside the normal constraints of time and space, invites viewers to reflect on the balance between different elements of existence.

The background, adorned with geometric and colorful shapes, contrasts starkly against the natural form of the human figure, while butterflies of various shades and sizes flutter around, symbolizing the delicate balance between consciousness and dream, reality and fantasy.
