About the Item

“Sleep” is a symbolic oil painting that explores the fragile boundary between reality and the subconscious. A serene face with closed eyes embodies the stillness of sleep, while a radiant sun above the forehead represents awakening and illumination. At the bottom, a delicate winged figure symbolizes the soul in its vulnerable state, waiting to rise. This artwork speaks about the hidden structures that shape our lives while we remain “asleep” — living by rules created by others. Yet, it carries a powerful reminder: awakening is always near. The angel within us is ready to take flight once we choose to see, breathe, and create our own reality. Blending surrealism, symbolism, and spiritual motifs, “Sleep” invites viewers to reflect on freedom, transformation, and the courage to awaken.
