Oil on canvas
The work "The Dark Side" by Antonino Parrimuto is an intense oil on canvas that explores the duality of the human soul through the chromatic contrast between black and white. The subject is a face, divided in half: one part illuminated by light tones and the other immersed in darkness. This clear division symbolically represents the coexistence of light and shadow, revealing the two sides of the human personality, between rationality and instinct, clarity and mystery.
The choice of black and white emphasizes the concept of contrast and contradiction, creating a visual tension that invites the observer to reflect on the inner nuances of the individual. "The Dark Side" is not only an aesthetic exploration of the face, but a deep psychological and emotional investigation, which allows the delicate balance between the visible and the invisible, the conscious and the unconscious to emerge.
