This is not the first time that the image of Cassiopeia has been used to represent human ego and pride. However, from my point of view as an artist, I feel that our societies have become increasingly superficial. I believe that the representation of beauty is a way of commodifying and dominating humanity and has made us dependent on a certain standard of living, even prisoners of it, since it dictates how we should manifest happiness and how we should live every minute. As a result, we find the ego represented here by a smartphone instead of the mirror, a small house that represents the false view of the world that we so often create on social networks, the representation of human fragility through the bone, and the exploitation and commercialization of sex, challenging the absurdity of "pixelation" with a nipple, making it visibly radioactive in the face of the almost invisible but essential tree of life and new dawn that, fortunately, still lives within each of us.

ABOUT this artwork:
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.
