This artwork depicts a human figure in a yoga or acrobatic pose, with a distinct graphic style, created using screen printing techniques, with a strong contrast due to the white and blue color palette. The strange position and fluidity of the form suggest an exploration of the body's flexibility and the limits of human movement.
The stylized details of the body can evoke themes of introspection and self-discovery, combining aesthetics with the idea of balance between body and mind. It is a work that invites contemplation of the body and movement, suggesting a combination of strength and fragility.
The work is inspired by Rhea and Cronos from Felix Aftene’s “Blue World” collection, reflecting the mythological influences and deep symbolism that the artist integrates into his works.
Rhea and Cronos: In Greek mythology, Rhea and Cronos are important figures, and their representation can explore themes of power, sacrifice, and time. The position of the figures, as illustrated, can reflect the complexity of human relationships, the contrasts between the sacred and the profane, and the impact of personal choices on destiny.
Blue Palette: The use of blue tones is characteristic of this collection and can symbolize emotion, depth of ideas, and connection to nature or spirituality. Blue often evokes calm and meditation.
Graphic Style: The graphic approach, with stylized shapes and emphasized contours, emphasizes the narrative and aesthetic message of the work. This style can create a strong visual connection to artistic traditions and the way mythology is perceived today.
Conclusion: The work inspired by Rhea and Cronos from the “Blue World” collection highlights how Felix Aftene combines mythology with a modern aesthetic, offering a reflection on the human condition and interpersonal relationships. It invites the viewer to explore not only the visual aspects, but also the depth of the thematic approach.
