DUST
Oil on jute | 80×80cm | 2025
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
Dust presents a human face in strict profile, suspended in a void of total blackness. The features are still and pale, drained of all warmth, somewhere between a sculpture, a mummy, and a bone. The figure is rendered with an eerie serenity, evoking both the purity of death and the quiet dignity of what once lived.
Painted on raw jute, the work embraces imperfection and fragility. The texture of the support bleeds through the pigment, grounding the spectral image in something organic, coarse, and time-worn. The choice of material is deliberate: jute, an earthy and degradable fabric, mirrors the painting’s meditation on impermanence.
Dust is not a portrait of death, but of disintegration, of the slow fading of matter, memory, and spirit. It stands as a visual elegy, suggesting that even in vanishing, there is form. Even in silence, a presence lingers.
