This series is a profound visual journey through states of anxiety, inner conflict and ultimate acceptance. Maintained in an intense palette of pinks, purples and reds, the triptych explores the universal experience of striving for inner peace. Hands are the main language here – initially covering and suppressing, but ultimately surrounding and supporting, symbolising the path to self-awareness and finding strength within oneself.

Series: Psychological Triptych vol2, Internal Conflict

This portrait is a powerful visual expression of inner conflict and anxiety.

Composition and Emotional Content: The focal point is a double portrait of a woman, symbolising the duality of emotional states or the struggle between different aspects of personality. The main face looks directly at the viewer, expressing tension and sensitivity, while the second, ethereal profile emerging from the right side seems to be fleeing or observing.

The Role of Hands: Hands are a key element of drama. They are raised in a gesture that suggests either shielding oneself from the world or intense tension and painful reflection. Their position at the temples and forehead reinforces the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Technique and Colour Scheme: The painting is rendered in the intense palette of dark red, purple and pink characteristic of the series. This monochromatic, strong colour scheme gives the work a hypnotic and melancholic mood. The expressive, bright accents on the eyes and lines of the hands bring the figure out of the background and emphasise her intensity…

Summary: The work captures a moment of intense emotional turmoil in which the character confronts his complex inner world, making this portrait an intense reflection on the human psyche.
