The Future is back<\/strong> acrylic and markers on different layers of canvas and wood 150\u00d7100 cm\u00a0 – 2011<\/p>\n<\/div>

This work marks a turning point \u2014 an evolution born from a dream, the Statue of Liberty, and the artist\u2019s 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\u2019s evolution. A third face, born from the cut of a triptych, creates a powerful d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>
