I have been working on this oil pastel artwork for a while, but I was interrupted by an unethical force: the heatwave that was testing human capacity above my dear Europe. My brain was melting, so bringing this grandiose idea of the interaction between the brain’s two halves — the creative and the structural — to life became a serious challenge. But I did it. Fate cannot be postponed; only the path leading to it can be twisted.
Anyway, here is the result. I wanted to capture the process of how a creative idea can carry conscious messages beyond visuality.
If there had been no attempts by the weather to hack my peaceful creative process, I could have finished this piece at approximately the same time as the opening of Obama’s brutalist library. The work is finished, the library has opened, and the similarity is obvious. Even though the path was twisted.
