ARRIVAL / painting on canvas

VALENTINA BROSTEAN

Thinking about human fragility and the endurance of love! A potential representation of the afterlife, a space I created for departed souls – to meet their loved ones. The light blue pieces were created after the loss of my beloved dog Panda when I embarked on this deeply personal journey—a profound introspective exploration of grief, healing, and search of the realms beyond the visible reality. My paintings became a conduit for processing the loss of the physical absence while exploring the trace, an echo in the void. On this path, boundaries between dimensions blur, and the potential for something beyond our material world is contemplated. I seek to capture and unravel the enigmatic nature of this metaphysical space and evoke contemplation and introspection in the viewer, with peace and acceptance as a final goal, reminding us of the profound interconnectedness between the visible and invisible, the spiritual essence that resides within us.
