About this artwork
The man, sitting in his gilded armchair, tries to catch the eye of the person staring back at him. Beneath his eccentric exterior lies a troubled soul. He seeks comfort, perhaps even absolution, but he knows he doesn't deserve it.
His sadness is sincere and deep.
Yet he is aware that this is only a cycle, that transformation is near: a new path presents itself to him.
His optimistic nature and patience gradually give way to fear. "Tomorrow" worries… him.
He doesn't care about the people around him! He stays there, in his bubble.
He no longer knows if he is in a dream or if this is reality.
But maybe he travels between the two?
I created this painting following a sentence that someone said to me, another that I read, then I added a little of my own experience.

Credentials
- Local Artist
- Works on commission
Born in Brussels in January 1972, Ralph.S, has lived in Mouscron (Belgium) for 32 years. A major health problem led him to resume artistic painting in March 2020.
"Working mainly in oil, Ralph.S paints every night, between waking and sleeping, a way of letting go and letting his emotions express themselves fully on the canvas. The evolution of the world, society, the female condition, more recently poetry..., the painter always combines painting and philosophy, accompanying the viewer on the path of a reflection as free as it is intimate and profound.
Ralph S. holds on to this freedom, this absence of judgment, this pure and generous invitation to think and feel.
Ralph S., who has won many awards, has created over 300 oil paintings in the last 5 years! His colours are bright and pure, his strokes poetic. These works are always between reality and fiction, between figuration and abstraction.
