Artwork, titled The Arnolfini Marriage (Jan Van Eyck Improvisation), reimagines the iconic Renaissance masterpiece through an expressive, abstract lens. Figures emerge from fields of color, their forms partially dissolved into strokes of crimson, gold, and pastel hues. The left side presents a dark, imposing presence, while the right radiates with light and warmth.
The interplay of abstraction and figuration blurs boundaries between recognition and imagination. The viewer senses the essence of Van Eyck’s solemn union, yet here it becomes a dreamlike dialogue between shadow and illumination. Shapes ripple and shift, evoking both stability and flux, as if the scene exists in constant transformation.
Through its vibrant fragmentation, the piece explores the tension between tradition and reinterpretation. What was once a symbol of solemnity now becomes fluid, poetic, and deeply personal. The improvisation invites the viewer to witness marriage not as static ceremony, but as an unfolding, layered narrative of connection and memory.
