In the artwork "Signposts" the viewer is taken into a world steeped in mysticism and symbolism. The use of an oil paint effect gives it rich texture and depth, enhancing the dark atmosphere of the scene.
At the centre of the painting is a woman dressed in a long, dark dress. Her long hair is put up in a bun.
What makes this artwork so intriguing are the two bats that seem to surround the woman. The bats act as 'signposts' in this dark world. They symbolise the guidance and protection they provide in the apparent darkness of the unknown. The woman looks with a gaze that expresses both determination and a touch of mystery.
The deep meaning of "Signposts" lies in the duality of light and dark, and how we are sometimes guided by apparent contradictions. The painting invites introspection and reflection, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a form of guidance and hope to be found.
This artwork invites the viewer to decipher the hidden messages and offers a chance to reflect on the path of life we are on. It is a work that challenges the viewer to dig deeper into themselves and the world around them.
