The Source of Infection II 2010

"The Source of Infection II" (2010) by Iurie Matei is a surrealist oil painting on canvas, that combines elements of history, religion, and political commentary with symbolic objects. The artwork features a violin, a clown, a lock, and several other objects arranged in a still life composition. Notably, the violin has withered flowers growing out of its body and appears to be a symbol of decay and destruction. Matei's work is often characterized by its complex imagery, which invites the viewer to contemplate the darker aspects of human nature and history.
