Artist: Janus
Title: “Hope 2025”
Technique: Mixed media with ducats double gold 23 carat on canvas, fluorescent and phosphorescent elements
Size: 170 × 140 cm
Date: 2025
Janus’ painting “Hope 2025” is a visual meditation on the fragility and strength of hope.
In daylight, we encounter a dynamic explosion of colors – yellows, blues, reds, and blacks forming a vortex that evokes either a cosmic burst or the blossoming of life. Golden forms embedded within the chaos carry the symbolism of light and meaning – as if hope were a hidden energy, giving direction amidst the unpredictability of existence.
Under UV light, the painting reveals its second face – a pulsating, fluorescent network of lines and patches. Hidden elements emerge, reminding us that hope often arises in secret, in the dark places where its presence is felt before it is fully seen.
In complete darkness, subtle phosphorescent traces shine through. They are like the memory of light, a quiet promise that even in the deepest night, hope does not vanish – it simply changes its form.
Thus, “Hope 2025” becomes a painting with three dimensions: the visible, the hidden, and the inner. It is a metaphor for the human journey – from chaos, through the discovery of invisible forces, to the deepest light that accompanies us in darkness.
