Curatorial Description:
In Marco Antonio, ArNoUx distills the emotional turmoil of the Roman general into a haunting face that floats between presence and disappearance. Rendered with thick brushstrokes and minimalist intention, the portrait is crossed by striking lines of red, blue, and yellow—symbolizing fate, ambition, and destiny.
The piece belongs to a unique artistic dialogue: Minimalist Expressionism informed by the German Expressionist tradition. Through bold abstraction, the canvas becomes a battlefield of inner conflict. The green background reflects a false calm; beneath it lies the agony of lost power and love. The rough textures over the eyes, the smears over the mouth, the bleeding colors—everything alludes to a man torn between his duty to Rome and his surrender to Cleopatra.
Marco Antonio is not just a face—it’s a fall. A collapse of empire, a man undone by passion, and a soul silenced by his own choices.
