Series: Illusory Abstraction
Before us is a philosophical allegory of time, delicately woven into the painterly fabric of an abstract composition. The painting “Sand Clock” seems to unveil the inner mechanism not only of measuring time, but of memory, emotion, and the very flow of life.
Each detail is more than a visual element — it is a symbol of a moment. The grains of sand, encapsulated in spherical forms, resemble magnified fragments of our reality: they hold emotions, imprints of what was lived, memories of what once was present. Nothing vanishes without a trace — everything is preserved, transformed, and flows onward, like sand in a clock.
Past, present, and future are visually linked here: a grain moves from the faceless future into the emotional present, and then into the archive of memory. All is one, all is cyclical, all is meaningful.
The smooth transitions, warm ochre and golden hues on a background of soft smoky greys and blues, evoke a mood of contemplation and gentle melancholy. This is more than abstraction — it is a visual meditation on time, on life, and on ourselves within this endless stream.
