1992

1992

Imagine stepping into a time machine. But instead of knobs and dials, you're surrounded by colors—rich, deep, mesmerizing hues that transport you back to the year 1992 when astronomers reexamined the beginning of time. Welcome to the artist’s diptych oils-on-canvas, aptly titled "1992." A diptych is a pair of artworks meant to be displayed together, typically side by side.

But this painting isn't about two canvases meeting in the middle. It's a cosmic journey that takes you back to 1992 and a historical moment.

Picture it: astronomers, with their eyes glued to their telescopes, uncover the first 'wrinkles' in space. It's like finding an ancient treasure map of the universe. "1992" isn't just a date. It's a milestone in our never-ending curiosity about the cosmos. It's a tip of the hat to those star-gazers who first found the clues to how our universe began.

But there's a twist.

This diptych may seem simple, but it tells a deeper story—it is the tale of an entity dwelling on a faraway planet that discovers Earth for the first time—a mirror to our astronomers' experience on Earth. There is a poem to accompany this piece, which will be included in your purchase. The poem echoes the questions of the entity:

Is there life in this newfound world?

What kind of civilization might there be?

Does this planet live in perfect symbiosis, where harmonious existence is the norm?

Or could this be a planet torn by war, plagued by genocide, and struggling to exist?

In the poem, the voice seems familiar, almost human. Yet, in a twist as unpredictable as the universe itself, the true speaker is revealed.

And so, "1992" becomes more than just a painting. It is an exploration of perspective, a contemplation of our place in the cosmos, and a poetic dialogue between beings separated by lightyears and yet closer than they know—like the two canvases coming together to form a union. "1992" asks us to question, wonder, and dream. For in the vastness of the universe, aren't all explorers searching for a reflection of themselves in the stars?
