Hanging On to the Rushing Time 2021

Daria Theodora's ethereal composition, "Hanging On to the Rushing Time", presents a dreamlike tableau filled with rich colors and symbolic elements. The fluid lines and gentle color washes evoke a sense of floating, drawing us into a space where reality and fantasy converge. The piece is structured around a central figure, counterposed by a spectral, wolf-like form and organic elements of trees. The artist’s layering of color and form gives the painting a translucent quality, destabilizing the solidity of objects. The visual elements here serve not just as aesthetic choices but also as part of a larger semiotic system. Theodora’s work may be seen as a reflection on the transient nature of time, and explores the boundaries between the conscious and unconscious. Its dreamlike state suggests that meaning is not fixed, but rather a continuous flux, like time itself.
