There will be signs, 2024

Oil paintings on canvas, various Dimensions.



“There Will Be Signs” is a series of two oil paintings featuring a figure that is both familiar and enigmatic: a blue dog in motion. This presence invites a reflection on omens and the imperceptible signals that run through our lives. Acting as a guide, it encourages the decoding of scattered clues within a space where familiar references are unstable. Far from adhering to a single register, these works capture fragments of the subconscious, oscillating between the comedic and the unsettling. Simple, almost innocent and silly actions, such as slipping on a banana peel, coexist with a darker depth woven from real memories, dreams, and digital experiences. This blend creates an ambiguous space where the intimate meets the virtual, the absurd meets the sincere.
