Rio de Janeiro, o Cristo e o outro lado

Concept

"While the World Collapses" is the newest work by Pernambuco artist Wesley Sats. Executed in acrylic, the piece stands out for its intricate use of geometric shapes and a carefully chosen color palette to convey emotional depth.

In this work, Sats delves into the complexities of his own psyche, using the central figure of his alter ego, SAND, to explore feelings of disorder and hope. The character, depicted in a three-dimensional environment, appears lost in contemplation as chaos unfolds around him. The window with a view of the mountains and the rising sun symbolizes a point of serenity and constancy, contrasting with the character's internal turmoil.

The work reflects Sats' personal experience, referring to his childhood memories spent in the mountains and his constant search for peace in the midst of chaos. Through geometric patterns and fluid lines, he creates a visual narrative that resonates with the universal struggle of finding balance in times of crisis.

"As the World Collapses" invites the viewer to reflect on their own emotions and experiences, making a deep and personal connection with the work. This work is a powerful addition to Sats' portfolio, highlighting her unique talent for transforming complex memories and feelings into visually impactful art.
