"Omnipresent Eyes" - A powerful work of art that pushes the boundaries of social norms.

Discover the unique strength and individuality in this expressive painting.

In the painting "Omnipresent Eyes" from the series "Grotesque: The Power of Individualism" I express my protest against social norms and expectations that restrict our actions and limit our freedom. The central figure in the painting is a man with an expressive face surrounded by pink pillows with eyes symbolizing omnipresent surveillance in the style of "Big Brother is watching you" from Orwell's novel 1984. His head rests softly on the pillows, but even they are constantly watching him, reflecting our reality in which we are constantly monitored by cameras on the streets, our own phones, computers and even everyday devices. With the advent of the "Internet of Things" even our refrigerators, vacuum cleaners or electric pillows will be watching us non-stop.

SYMBOLISM OF THE SURROUNDING ELEMENTS:

Pink pillows with eyes surrounding the man symbolize the expectations and norms imposed by society that control and observe his every move. These surreal elements have many layers of meaning. Above all, they symbolize the social pressure and surveillance that makes it difficult to express yourself in your own way. The eyes on the pillows are tools of control that make it impossible for a man to live a quiet life according to his own rules.

Warning and alarm:

Yellow is often used as a warning color. Yellow eyes therefore symbolize a state of alarm, a constant feeling of threat or the need to draw attention to something important. 

The term Internet of Things or Internet of Things ( IoT )stands for a networked world made up of "smart" , i.e. intelligent, devices. These IoT devices behave like computers and are networked with other devices locally or over the Internet.

In the background you can see a blue sky and a calm lake against a mountain backdrop. We seem to be relaxing peacefully, but even in moments of peace and relaxation we are constantly monitored.

BREAKING STANDARDS:

The figure of the man, surrounded by intense colors and surrealistic elements, symbolizes the constant struggle for personal freedom and self-expression. His intense gaze and worried expression in the face of this unusual situation are a call to acceptance and celebration of what makes us who we are. Through its emotional behavior and unique shape, I want to convey that true freedom is accepting yourself as you are, regardless of societal expectations and norms. This painting, as well as the entire series "Grotesque: The Power of Individualism", should inspire you to do so , to reflect on your own identity and encourage you to reject the limitations imposed by external influences. It is a manifestation of the joy and satisfaction that comes from being authentic, with all of your unique qualities and talents.

MOTIFS USED IN THE PAINTING:

Pink pillow with eyes:

• Control and surveillance: Eyes symbolize constant observation and the social pressure that makes it difficult to control yourself be. Knowing that we are being watched, we behave less naturally.
• Surrealism and fantasy: Pillows with eyes create a surrealistic background that represents the inner state of restlessness and searching for freedom.

Figure of the man:

• Facial expression: The man's intense gaze and facial expression emphasize his inner struggle and strength in the face of imposed restrictions.
• Central Figure: His presence in the center of the painting symbolizes the struggle for personal freedom and individualism.

"Big Brother sees you." "Every sound you make, every movement you make is recorded." "Everything you do is being watched." "Consciousness is revolutionary."

Quotes from "1984" by George Orwell.

SPECIFIC SYMBOLISM IN MY PAINTING:

The figure of the man surrounded by surrealistic elements: This unusual feature of the painting symbolizes the desire to create and act in all areas of life, despite imposed restrictions. The central figure and the surrealistic elements surrounding him underline the determination to shape reality on one's own terms.

The overall symbolism of the surrounding elements and the central figure in this painting emphasizes the motif of breaking conventions, taking a creative approach to life and finding one's own unique path in a world full of norms.

🎨 Colour shades and style:

The painting "Ubiquitous Eyes" is characterized by an intense and high-contrast color scheme that draws the eye draws and underlines the depth of the emotions portrayed. The background of the painting is in intense blue tones that contrast with the pink cushions and the central figure of the man. Pink pillows create a surrealistic environment that gives the image a unique and fantastic character.

The man in the painting has intense yellow eyes and an expressive, pale pink face, which further emphasizes the contrast between him and the background.

His penetrating gaze and worried facial expression draw attention and give the character a deep aura of mystery and emotion. The pink around his eyes and the pink pillows symbolize the stress and fatigue that comes from constant surveillance, as well as the absurdity of the situation in which even everyday objects can watch us.

The style of the painting is surrealistic and grotesque, which is perfect for the series "Grotesque: The Power of Individualism" fits.
