A Long Night

This painting presents the atmosphere of a quiet room, with a messy bed and two monkeys embracing on it, as if hinting at remnants of intimacy or a night filled with reflection that has passed. A bottle of wine and a half-filled glass on a small table serve as silent witnesses to a moment that has just unfolded, while clothes strewn across the floor suggest a nakedness that is not only physical but also emotional.

The monkeys, often representing instinct, primitiveness, or even reflections of human nature, here appear to rest with an ambiguous expression of exhaustion, satisfaction, or perhaps emptiness after an experience that has altered their emotions. Their presence in this context creates a contrast between wild instincts and the intimate domestic space, raising questions about the meaning of intimacy, regret, or even the absurdity of human relationships. This work is not merely about a physical experience but also an emotional journey that may leave lingering feelings, unresolved and unanswered.
