The artwork entitled Pink Diptych is concerned with merging the fields of painting and graphic arts; the theory of colour mixing and colour vision; mental states; the exploration and resolution of transgenerational, inherited influences and traumas; and the connections between these topics. ’Slow life’ or, in my case, ’slow working’ is a concept that I have consciously implemented in my work. The notion is of one that encourages slowing down on a societal, economical, and everyday level, pushing towards minimalism, and urging to rethink currently existing structures. This meditative, provocatively slow and long process offers me an opportunity to continuously observe and explore details. The diptych, which builds up from tiny dots, produced under a magnifying glass with acrylic pens, is a means to process and condense memories. Repetition and remembrance, in fact, exist on the same spectrum, moving in opposite directions. In my case, this repetition is what resolves the dissonance of remembrance and inherited tensions, while the five layers of colour that create a unit of pink and mauve tones become a symbol of alienation.
