Blending painting and sewing techniques, this 76 x 140 cm canvas transcends traditional narrative, inviting the viewer into a poetic, psychological landscape — one where motion, sound, and memory converge.
This evocative mixed-media painting, created in Puerto Escondido, captures the surreal presence of a “bad child” with piercing blue eyes, suspended on a swing during a fiery sunset. As the child chants the word “Pendulum” like a mantra, time and identity seem to blur. The upper half of the canvas bursts with warm, bleeding tones of orange, pink, and indigo, evoking a tropical sky in flux, while delicate stitched lines add a ghostly architecture — perhaps constellations or fractured memories.
The lower portion dives into a tangled sea of threads and layered textures, suggesting both water and emotional chaos. The child, painted upside down, becomes a symbol of rebellion, vulnerability, and inner transformation. With abstract gestures and carefully placed color collisions, the piece speaks of tension, play, and the wild oscillation between innocence and darkness.
