The future is back

The Future is back acrylic and markers on different layers of canvas and wood 150×100 cm  – 2011

This work marks a turning point — an evolution born from a dream, the Statue of Liberty, and the artist’s transformative journey through America. The canvas becomes a chronometer of experience, where materials like wood and forex act as the ticking hands of time. The narrative unfolds through a visual rhythm that evokes the passage of time, beginning with a painting “stolen” from the past. At its center, the American symbol stands as a permanent sign of change, anchoring the artist’s evolution. A third face, born from the cut of a triptych, creates a powerful déjà-vu — a haunting familiarity that loops the future back into the past. The piece plays with temporal dislocation, bending linear time and reconfiguring memory, identity, and vision into one suspended moment on canvas.
