The Reflection That Watches

in CCC3 days ago (edited)

When Mrs. K decided to visit the Art Gallery, she realized she had mixed up the date of her favorite painter's exhibition. That week's featured artist was a complete stranger to her.

Still, she didn't lose heart and paid for her ticket, hoping to discover new talent. After all, every great artist once started out unknown.

Upon entering the exhibition hall, she came across a rather strange painting: in the middle of the canvas stood a glass of red wine. But the interesting part was that the true scene of the artwork was reflected inside the glass itself.

A man sat before a banquet, wearing a ridiculous ornament that served as a hat, staring fixedly at the viewer.

Original as the piece was, it left Mrs. K puzzled, for she couldn't quite grasp what the artist meant to convey with his work.

Suddenly she felt as though someone were watching her, and turning around, she found standing right in front of her the very same man portrayed inside the glass — looking at her with amusement, for he himself was still trying to understand his own work.

El Reflejo que Observa

Cuando la señora K decidió visitar la Galería de Arte se encontró con que había confundido la fecha de la exposición de su pintor favorito. El expositor de la semana era un completo desconocido para ella.

A pesar de eso no se desanimó y pagó su entrada esperando descubrir nuevos talentos. Después de todo, todos los grandes artistas empezaron siendo unos completos desconocidos.

Al entrar en la sala de exposiciones se encontró con un cuadro bastante extraño, en medio del lienzo estaba una copa de vino tinto. Pero lo interesante es que la verdadera escena de la obra se reflejaba dentro de la misma copa.

Un hombre sentado frente a un banquete, luciendo un ridículo adorno que hacía de sombrero miraba fijamente al espectador.

Si bien la obra era original, dejó desconcertada a la señora K porque no creía entender lo que el artista deseaba comunicar con su obra.

Repentinamente sintió como si alguien estuviera observándola, y al girarse vio parado frente a ella al mismo hombre que estaba retratado dentro de la copa, que la miraba divertido porque él mismo trataba de entender su obra.

La vida a veces pone pruebas y uno busca respuestas donde sea. Tu post me dio algo en qué pensar.

There are times the unconscious does the job. If you ask me this glass is more than half filled, although it depends on how you look at it. This guy is clearly partying solo.

True, sometimes I think that trying to understand what the artist meant to express is a waste of time, because everyone interprets it from their own experiences, culture, and knowledge, I believe.

Or it is made up by the critic.

That too. Often, fame is achieved through good reviews, even if there are better artists. Anyway, I try not to follow trends, in anything, but we're inundated with them.

Buen aporte. Siempre es bueno leer análisis que van más allá del titular.

Gracias 😊
