Curatorial Note:
This raw and evocative portrait emerges from a salvaged box lid, a canvas transformed by ArNoUx into a realm of emotive strokes and layered memories. Using a fusion of acrylic, chalk, and intuitive mark-making, the artist renders a spectral figure whose gaze pierces through smudged textures and fiery undertones. The artwork exists in the liminal space between the ephemeral and the eternal—an embodiment of ArNoUx’s expressive vision and commitment to turning the discarded into sacred testimony.
