I laugh, and my laughter is not within me; I burn, and the burning is not seen outside, 2025

By Meru
 
80 x 70 cm

Acrylic on canvas


Io rido, e rider non passa dentero; Io ardo, e l’arsion mia non par di fore.


Human feelings are rarely simple. We can laugh and cry at the same time. This is a profound expression of the human condition in all its complexity. Here we have the bittersweet combination of feelings that gives life its peculiar beauty and which stirs within us a very deep emotional reaction
