The Fool and the Keyhole

Year
2025
Medium
acrylic on canvas
Dimensions
72 × 120 cm

The female Fool appears when the artist questions who she is beyond her professional identity, prompting her to open portals within herself where the ego would never venture. The work translates this encounter into three figures joined in a circular choreography — where the movement of one body feeds the impulse of another, like the snake that devours its own tail, in a continuous flow of creation.

The arcanum invites the integration of forgotten and as yet unexplored versions of the self. Reminding us that those who have no fixed destination never lose their way, it urges us to loosen the bonds of fear, laugh at the unknown and take, with an open heart, the eternal leap of faith towards our reinvention.
