Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
This painting represents two figures, often perceived as symbols of chaos and danger. The Joker, embodying madness and violence, while the hyena often evokes savagery and carnage, with his laughter which fuels his reputation. But this painting invites us to look beyond appearances and to question our prejudices. The young Joker, behind his makeup, has eyes imbued with gentleness. The hyena, at his side, is not a rabid beast but seems attentive, almost protective towards the child. The hummingbird brings a touch of light and life. Its vivid plumage contrasts with the dark hues of the scene, symbolizing hope and redemption. Thus, this painting highlights the complexity of what we consider “good” or “bad”. It shows that those we label as dangerous or undesirable can also be sensitive beings, hurt by life or misjudged because of their difference.
