"Cactus #2" Oil on canvas. 20×25 cm, 2024 unframed
The cactus is a symbol of self-sufficiency and resilience, life in the desert.
The contrast between the cold blue-emerald cactus and the warm peach and coral tones of the background creates a dialogue of opposites. Warm strokes wrap around the prickly cactus, but they don’t suppress its individuality. Sometimes it blends into the background, as if absorbing its warmth, which is felt through the red outline around it. The bright red lines reflect the surrounding warmth but prevent the cactus from dissolving into the background. It retains its form, trying to interact with its surroundings. The background pulses with hot strokes, but the cactus remains still, symbolizing that despite difficulties and chaos, it stays true to itself, adapting to new conditions.
