In the painting "Tension," I aimed to capture the symbolic essence of the overwhelming feeling that arises when one is being pulled in countless directions simultaneously. In this composition, the yellow flower serves as a resilient symbol of inner strength and resolve. It remains static, its golden petals unwavering in the face of the relentless pull of the world around it.
The blue flower, in its graceful, delicate beauty, symbolizes the external forces and demands that continuously wrap themselves around our lives. It is uncertain whether the blue flower's intentions are to strangle or to embrace the yellow bloom. This ambiguity mirrors the complexity of life's pressures and obligations. The result is a palpable tension in which the yellow flower finds itself ensnared, much like humans often do in the web of our daily lives.
