About the artwork

Photomontage "Guitar man": This intriguing image takes us into a story of dreams and memories, told through a unique photomontage.

In the centre of the image, we see a metal panel with clinkers, which exudes a sense of solidity and robustness. A landscape is painted on this panel in warm brown tones, evoking a rustic and nostalgic atmosphere. The landscape seems to stretch out to the horizon, as a symbolic representation of the future ahead.

An abstract figure appears in this setting: a man with a hat and a guitar over his shoulder. He stands there as an icon of dreams and musicality, ready to follow his own path and create his own melodies. He symbolises youthful hopes and desires for a better future.

But on the other side of the panel, we see an old man cherishing his memories. His face bears the marks of a rich and lived life, and his eyes seem to look back to the days gone by. He symbolises the value of memories and cherishing the past.

This photomontage artistically brings together the powerful themes'of dreams, hope, and the cycle of life. It invites viewers to reflect on their own dreams and memories, and the connection between past, present and future.

Whether inspired by the young man beginning his musical journey or moved by the old man reflecting on his life, this photomontage evokes emotions and invites reflection. It is a visual ode to the power of music, the meaning of memories and the continuous cycle of dreams in our lives.
