Messages on the Wall (2024) 绘画 由 Dita Lūse

This oil painting portrays a richly detailed interior scene featuring an ornate chandelier and an elaborately framed mirror, both set against a textured, patterned wall. The chandelier, rendered in soft whites and creams, with its curved arms and candle-like bulbs radiates a gentle glow. The mirror, positioned directly below the chandelier, reflects not only the chandelier itself but also a window, hinting at a space behind the viewer.

The ornate mirror frame, with swirling, baroque-style designs echoes the opulence of the chandelier. The wall behind them is dark, with a textured damask-like pattern, adding depth and a sense of historic elegance. Notably, handwritten words and scribbles are faintly visible on the wall, juxtaposing the refined, classical elements with a contemporary, almost rebellious touch. These inscriptions invite curiosity, hinting at a personal narrative or hidden story behind the scene.
The painting is about contrast—between light and shadow, classical and modern, and the tangible and the reflected. It evokes themes of memory, self-perception, and the passage of time, as the mirror serves as a portal, reflecting both the present and the unseen. The balance of ornate details and mysterious inscriptions creates a layered, thought-provoking atmosphere.
