The figures in "Seekers" are arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye to the central character. This central figure stands as a symbol of leadership and guidance. Their eyes are closed, suggesting an introspective journey or meditation. This act of self-reflection speaks to the universal human experience of seeking inner clarity and understanding.
Linus' choice of a handkerchief as a central element is not coincidental. In many cultures, a handkerchief carries significance beyond its utilitarian purpose. It can symbolize comfort, solace, or even protection. By incorporating handkerchiefs into the artwork, Linus adds depth to the narrative, inviting viewers to consider the role of community and support in their own lives.
The use of color in "Seekers" also plays a vital role in conveying its message. The figures are depicted in a warm, earthy color palette, which adds a sense of grounding and harmony to the composition. The background, on the other hand, features cooler tones, symbolizing the vastness of the world beyond the individuals. This contrast serves as a visual reminder of the delicate balance between self-discovery and our connection to the greater world.
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of "Seekers" is its ability to resonate with viewers on a personal level. The closed eyes of the figures invite introspection, encouraging viewers to consider their own journeys of self-discovery and inner peace. Linus' artwork serves as a mirror, reflecting the human experience of seeking meaning, unity, and a sense of belonging.
In "Seekers," Aba Linus masterfully captures the essence of unity, introspection, and the interconnectedness of humanity. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder that, regardless of our individual paths, we are all on a collective journey of self-discovery. Linus invites us to explore the profound beauty in the act of seeking, and in doing so, his artwork becomes a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who encounter it.

Artist statement
My paintings stem from my encounter with human society and the psychology that affects our daily encounters with matter, time and space. With the use of the acrylic medium, I try to paint images that express fundamental and necessary elements of the human experience. Working through a variety of themes - oppression, depression, loneliness, love, all gravitating towards figurative abstract realism.
I see my painting as an observation and a means of proposing an open discussion. As they are not intended to answer any question or intended to modify human behavior.
