In this picture inspired by Magritte’s painting ‘Golconde’ the timeless figure, being the link between the past and future, engages in dancing with the dancers in the
traditional costumes levitating in the sky -
The duck means nature, the main inspiration for the folklore culture in which I grew up; the figure walking in the clouds is a reminder of the inevitability of departure.
The portrait of nostalgia.
