ArtWork Details
"Words of Knowledge" is a piece created with acrylic and oil on a circular canvas, featuring a female face at the center of the composition. From her mouth emerges a moth, while a turquoise feather adorns her forehead, acting as a symbolic axis. Six additional moths encircle the figure, completing an arrangement that emphasizes the dynamism of the circular format. The work explores the symbolism of the moth as a bearer of messages and knowledge. Inspired by various cultures that associate this insect with spirituality and revelation, the moth here represents words emerging from the source of truth, serving as a channel of wisdom that transcends the human realm. The feather on the figure’s forehead extends this symbolism, linking intellect, intuition, and the power of words. Color plays an essential role in the narrative. Dominant turquoise tones evoke clarity, calmness, and spiritual openness, while the vibrant reds and oranges of the moths provide a striking contrast, symbolizing transformation and vital energy. The combination of acrylic and oil enhances the interaction between transparency and opacity, adding depth to the ethereal atmosphere of the work. The circular composition reinforces the concepts of continuity, balance, and connection. "Words of Knowledge" invites viewers to reflect on the significance of wisdom emanating from truth, communication, and humanity's ability to listen to and comprehend the messages surrounding us, both internal and external.
