L’idol 2018

Carlos Sablòn created "L’idol" using oil on canvas. Sablòn’s art often presents us with a distorted mirror of ourselves, probing the depths of human identity. The figure, with its animalistic body and human-like face, brings forward questions of identity, and what it means to be human in a world filled with contradictions. We see a figure that seems burdened, perhaps by the weight of societal expectations, resting in contemplation. The pipe suggests a moment of reflection or escape, a search for meaning or solace. The landscape, with its surreal and dreamlike quality, emphasizes the figure’s isolation. The cracked egg radiates with an ethereal light, juxtaposed against a structure topped with fire. These icons suggest themes of fragility, rebirth, and the precarious balance between creation and destruction. Sablòn's work doesn't offer easy answers but instead invites us to explore the complexities of our own existence, our aspirations, and our anxieties.
