Peeling | When the Soul Opens, the Garden Blooms
4000 ILS
In 'Peeling' the face is not closed inside a portrait but opens onto a living world of flowers and a butterfly. The peeling skin stands for a layer that is no longer needed, and the exposed moment becomes a chance for renewal; the blooming garden is not outer decoration but an expression of what wants to grow from within. The surrealist portrait joins nature, human fragility and growth, and invites inward reflection. Painted in 2021, 70 × 100 cm, oil on canvas, signed with a certificate of authenticity. Suited to an intimate space, a study or a living room that wants a work encouraging contemplation and conversation, and connected to Eliran Bar-On's series of surrealist portraits. Available to buy or rent from the studio.
