About True or False

A description ​only​ intended for those who want to know how the artist intended the work!

True or False is a 7 part inspired by the principles of Swarm Intelligence. In the work, I experiment with new symbolism in my visual language.

Mirror balls

First, there are the mirror balls that form a kind of three-dimensional all-seeing eye in which everything from the environment is mirrored. Who is mirrored is seen!

An icon is also depicted on each canvas. This abstract representation of a human symbolizes the disappearance of cultural diversity due to globalism and is inspired by the icons that appear in the absence of an online profile picture.

CMYK

All 7 canvases are made up of the 4 printing colours Cyan, Magenta, yellow and black, also known as CMYK. This limitation and ordering of colour is a

“True or false”

An abstraction on humanism generating value. A work about Identity and contextual connections inspired by the principles of Swarm Intelligence (SI)

a metaphor for the reduction within a contemporary technological society in which life is represented in a simplified and abstracted way.

Mother

The middle larger canvas between the 6 smaller canvases has the name Mother This work, like all other works, is only slightly larger. This increase in scale evokes the suggestion of togetherness as if the 6 other canvases come together in this.

Title explanation
