This painting depicts two parallel paths: on the right, a corridor with a statue of the classical period that represents our history and our Western culture, the tradition and profound values of classical art, our solid cultural roots. Further on, in the foreground, two characters from the early twentieth century appear, they represent the continuity of these concepts, but with an element of loss, symbolised by the transparency of their lower limbs. On the left, a ladder that rises. This staircase should have six steps, but it shows only three. The presence of the steps means that man, after thousands of years of history, should rise in self-consciousness and evolution and be better than what he was 2000 years ago, but it has not turned out that way. Three steps because three is the number of inner balance and perfection, but today there is only perfect technology, represented by the iPad. Then there is the open sea without islands or distant lands in sight, probably an uncertain future to face. On the beach there is a lifeboat to be used in the worst case scenario, the shipwreck. At the top, there is a clock without hands, because the whole scene takes place in the non-time. All those who have seen this painting missed the presence of an optical effect: the bases of the door jambs on the right are not on the same perspective plane. I have used this optical effect to say that our past and our present seem to be separate in space and time, but coexist on the same plane, just as the whole scene of the painting, that, while representing different temporalities, coexists on a bi-dimensional canvas and in a single square-shaped area. Painting oil on canvas, exclusively with veiling technique.
