A Study of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Portrait, acrylic on canvas, 2023
Amidst the hushed ambi- ance of the set, Andrei Tar- kovsky stands, his silhou- ette etched against the play of lights and shadows. His gaze, intense and unwav- ering, pierces through the scene before him, a tableau imbued with symbolic depth and drama. Every nuance of his countenance suggests a maestro en- grossed in the delicate art of “sculpting in time.” In this frozen moment, Tar- kovsky becomes both ob- server and creator, as if trying to harness the very essence of time and eterni- ty with a singular, pene- trating look.
