🖋 Descripción Curatorial (en inglés):
This 2025 German Expressionist abstract piece by ArNoUx transforms an ordinary Coca-Cola glass bottle into a haunting figurative portrait. The grayscale face—half-erased, half-emerging—stares directly at the viewer, framed by thick layers of vibrant orange, black, and fiery accents. Bold brushstrokes slash across the bottle like memories lost in paint, evoking emotional rupture and psychological intensity.

The face is neither male nor female—an archetype of witness and silence—trapped in a vessel once meant to refresh, now repurposed to reflect. The work confronts consumer culture and spiritual isolation through an abstract, expressionist lens.

This is not a bottle; it is a soul in there!
