L'INTRIGO DEL TEMPO

by Paola Imposimato

80 x 100

Oil on canvas

The dreamlike atmosphere that pervades the painting symbolically alludes to the fluidity of time and the mask of human emotions. The curious perspective of Florence’s Cathedral embraces the masked figure who, from above, dominates the scene: it is the present, which seemingly reveals itself yet is filled with uncertainties and interpretive doubts. The face of the future, below, seems to wish to emerge, yet waits for the true face of the present to be unveiled. Meanwhile, the fan of cards is about to find its own order — one that may be unexpectedly overturned by the uncertain turns of fortune.
Between surrealism and metaphysics, touches of expressionism capture the enigmatic spirit of existence.
An overwhelming charm arises from the soft curves and intense colors, inviting the viewer on an emotional journey where dream and reality dance inseparably.
This painting will bring to your home a vibrant energy — an invitation to contemplate the hidden mysteries behind the corners of everyday life.
