This oil painting, titled "Higher than clouds," is a surreal and evocative piece that plays with the duality of human nature and the concept of freedom versus constraint. The composition features the central motif of a woman's face, fragmented and intertwined with elements of the sky, clouds, and possibly a sense of ascension or elevation beyond earthly bounds. The woman's face is rendered with exquisite detail, capturing the softness of her skin and the delicate strands of her flowing hair, which seem to meld seamlessly with the ethereal forms around her. One half of her face is obscured by a blindfold, suggesting a lack of sight or awareness, while the other side is bathed in light and clarity, with her eye gazing upwards, signifying enlightenment or the pursuit of higher knowledge. The background is a dramatic interplay of dark and light, with stormy, tumultuous clouds contrasting against serene patches of clear blue sky. This could symbolize the internal struggles and contrasts within the human psyche, the storms of emotion and thought, and the peace of clarity and understanding. There's a sense of movement and fluidity within the painting, as if the woman is either rising above or being enveloped by the clouds. The use of light is masterful, creating a luminous quality that gives the painting a life-like and three-dimensional feel. "Higher than clouds" invites the viewer to ponder themes of vision and blindness, the seen and unseen, and the interplay between the physical and the spiritual. It is a powerful representation of the human desire to transcend the mundane and reach for something greater, something beyond our immediate grasp, represented by the sky and the freedom it symbolizes.
