tempted too long

Year: 2026
Medium: Mixed media on canvas
Dimensions: Framed 97 x 146 cm
Location: Oliva, Valencia, Spain

A dense red mass presses down from above while a fractured figure struggles to hold its form below. A stark horizontal divide separates mental and emotional space, suggesting a prolonged internal conflict rather than a single dramatic moment. The central framed head appears both protected and imprisoned, reflecting the tension between self-preservation and self-destruction. Layers of scraping and repainting embed time into the surface, turning temptation into a condition rather than an event. The painting captures the quiet erosion that occurs when one remains too long in a state that should have been temporary.
