Triptych "Mother" 100x70, 100x50, 100x70 | Oil, Canvas | 2025

This triptych is a profound biographical study realized through the artistic language of Polyphantom-Art.
In this work, I transform feelings that have sought an outlet throughout my life into visual images.

Concept and Biography
My story is an experience of a double loss of a mother. The first occurred physically when I was left in an orphanage at the age of six months. The second occurred emotionally at seventeen, when I learned the truth about my origins and was cast out of an adoptive family where violence was considered the norm rather than love.
Only through the properties of "phantomness" was I able to express decades of fear and the search for warmth. In this work, I explore categories such as metaphor, illusoriness, and vibration—both visual and internal.

Structure of the Triptych

Left Panel:
Filled with pulsating light and an energetic aura. This is the "Polyphantom" of my birth and life force. However, in the center lies a grey spot: a silent void where a mother should have been. Life is simply absent from this point.

Right Panel:
An illusory, glowing silhouette of a woman with indistinct outlines. It is the image of a mother constructed from childhood fantasies and observations of other families. The image is surrounded by emptiness—my reality, where dreams can never fill the vacuum of the past.

Central Panel:
An abstract form revealing the principle of the "phantom's" birth. A conventional deep blue (the color of the Virgin Mary and the life-giving mother) gives rise to a vibrating yellow (a symbol of divine energy and new life). One begets the other, forming an inseparable unity—the way color gives birth to a phantom.

Artistic Method
In this triptych, illusoriness manifests through the instability of forms and the absence of a fixed image. Complementarity and the warm-cold vibration of color create a contrast between the fullness of space and the grey vacuum.
For me, this is a subjective sensation of oscillating between light and void, reality and fantasy, presence and absence, the bitterness of loss and gratitude.
