"Nocturnal Reality: A Woman, a Refrigerator, and a Watermelon" is an evocative watercolor with charcoal detailing that explores the duality of perception and the mystery of time. At the center of the composition, a woman sits under the dark mantle of night. Her figure is delicately outlined in charcoal, highlighting her ethereal and enigmatic presence. She holds a watermelon in her hands, its green rind captured with soft watercolor strokes that contrast with the dark tones of the night. With each bite, the red juice flows, a fusion of the tangible and the ethereal, highlighted with vibrant strokes that fade into the background. The uniqueness of the piece lies in the woman's eyes. Depicted with two pairs of eyes, one pair observes the visible world with a clarity defined by charcoal, while the other gets lost in the invisible, captured in more diffuse and ethereal watercolor tones. This duality suggests a journey between different dimensions of reality, where dreams and memories intertwine. Beside her, a refrigerator stands as a symbol of modernity and domestic life, its stark presence contrasting with the fluidity of the night and the organic form of the watermelon. The refrigerator, rendered in a blend of watercolor and charcoal, grounds the scene in a tangible reality while also serving as a portal to the hidden depths of the nocturnal world. The nocturnal atmosphere is rendered in deep tones and soft shades of blue and black, creating an environment that envelops the woman and accentuates her connection with time. Every detail of the watermelon, from the texture of its rind to the juice running down the woman's chin, symbolizes the passage of time, capturing fleeting moments in the stillness of the night.
