About "Steps of Reflection: The Journey Unveiled"

by Jan Keteleer

About the artwork

This painting unfolds like a whispered dialogue between past and present, drawing deeply from Marcel Duchamp’s iconic Nude Descending a Staircase. Yet, where Duchamp explored motion’s fragmentation, my work turns to the voyage—an ascending narrative of purpose and persistence. The figure, shadowed and unsteady, carries a solitary suitcase, a symbol of journeys both external and internal. It whispers tales of departure and arrival, of burdens borne and destinations yet unseen.

Each step trembles with possibility and hesitation, speaking to the complexity of progress. The staircase itself dissolves into abstraction, suggesting that the path forward is never fixed, never clear. This ambiguity mirrors life’s transience—how every step we take might lead to an unknown horizon.

The suitcase becomes pivotal here, a vessel confronting questions of identity and longing. What does it hold? Memories? Aspirations? Regrets? It anchors the man but also pulls him onward, embodying the dual forces of past and future entwined in his ascent.

Through muted tones and layered textures, the painting invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys. Are we ever truly moving upward, or are we circling endlessly through iterations of ourselves? The man walking upstairs is us—individual voyagers poised between where we’ve been and where we hope to go.
