Full Moon Phase Two

2014, oil on canvas, 110x160 cm /// Latvian painter Kalvis Zālītis (1976) is a representative of the hyperrealist style, with a refined and distinctive visual language. The essence of his work is revealed in dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, which not only emphasise the forms of objects but also uncover their subtle textures and reflections, creating a spatial illusion and an atmosphere of mystery. The objects, as if emerging from boundless darkness, acquire symbolic significance – becoming signs of transition between everyday reality and the deeper realms of consciousness and the subconscious. In the painting “Full Moon Phase Two”, the full moon becomes a symbol of the soul, reflecting the inner knowledge of the human spirit and its state between the currents of the conscious and the subconscious. In the full moon, all that lies hidden in the depths of the soul breaks forth into the physical world. /// The artist’s signature and date are located on the back of the painting.
