ABOUT this artwork:
In this case, the musical inspiration comes from the Beatles. I take the license to show Sergeant Pepper in a difficult situation, trying to ensure that the “perfect world that everyone wants to live in,” which is the yellow submarine, does not sink. I use this metaphor to criticize the false world that we are creating around social networks; how we create an apparently perfect life, rewarding ourselves for it, increasing insecurities, depressions and false levels of achievement. Ironically, the painting is named after another famous Beatles song... Help!
About Felix Zilinskas
Felix Zilinskas is a plastic artist based in Barcelona, Spain, where he has his workshop. His work, captured mainly in the format of acrylics on canvas, has been presented in multiple countries and published in various magazines and catalogs in the art world.His work vividly explores form and the human psyche through a bold color palette and distinct geometric stylization. The visual elements are intertwined with the narrative, evoking a dialogue between modern abstraction and symbolic representation. The use of saturated colors and sharp contrasts refers to the expressionist palette, while the simplification of forms and the distortion of perspective echo cubist experiments.The technique is meticulous, with particular attention to the overlapping of textures and the play between line and color. The contours are often defined, although partially decomposed, suggesting an influence of the Paris school and its post-impressionists, such as Lautrec and Gauguin, regarding line and narrative use of color. Composition can be a nurse to constructivism and its interest in structure and space.In terms of message, Felix Zilinskas' work seems to delve into the human condition, exploring themes of isolation, introspection, and the search for identity. Each work functions as a window to a particular emotional state, inviting the viewer to transcend the visual and confront the complexity of being.
