Artwork description

A solitary, bearded scholar sits at the canvas’s heart, cloaked in muted whites and browns, surrounded by sweeping, mirror-like arches and fractured surfaces. Warm highlights and deep shadows carve a theatrical space where the familiar figure feels both anchored and adrift.

Glints of reflected form and a small procession of pointing figures in the background suggest debate, testimony, and the echo of earlier thinkers. The composition stages knowledge as a fragile architecture—part-objective, part-illusion—where certainty bends under the weight of question and reflection.

Theory of knowledge feels like a visual essay: intimate yet contentious. It captures the slow labor of thinking, the tension between evidence and belief, and the quiet humility of inquiry amid a world of shifting reflections.
