“Performance” Triptych

The artwork comprises three distinct elements: the backstage, the stage, and the audience.   
 

 

The backstage, with distinctive blue hues, forms the rear portion of the stage. The focus lies on portraying the theater's interior, emphasizing colossal metal structures and captivating color interplay. These elements overshadow a solitary figure, immersed in contemplation and tension, stripped of their actor role. The canvas, enriched by blue tones, embodies mourning, with a staircase ascending to a concealed red stage. The scene aims to evoke secrecy and ambiguity, inviting viewers to delve deeper and seek new interpretations.

At the center of these two paintings, a round canvas on a metal structure forms. The audience is portrayed as silent and indifferent. Leveraging the circular shape, I sought to evoke a sense of rotation, as if the audience peers through it like a fish-eye lens. This canvas serves as a depiction of the world itself.

The stage picture is dynamic, contrasting ascending and descending figures. The descending figure exudes tranquility and grandeur, symbolically resonating with Christian symbolism, descending upon a white sheet that carries symbolic weight in this context.   

The triptych was dedicated to the victims of Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020.
