The Exodus Towards Light 1999

"The Exodus Towards Light" (1999) by Sabin Balasa is a surrealist painting depicting a group of figures in a dreamlike landscape. The figures are depicted in various states of motion, some seemingly levitating upwards, others lying in repose. The use of cool blues and whites gives the painting a sense of otherworldly mystery. The painting's title hints at the figures' journey towards a brighter future, perhaps a journey of spiritual enlightenment or a transcendence of earthly limitations. Balasa's work often explored themes of the human condition and the mysteries of the universe, making this painting a captivating exploration of both.
