About this artwork

'Through the Wrong Door' It's eerily quiet around midnight as you walk through the dimly lit corridors of your unusually empty hotel. Each step you take echoes so loudly off the walls that it sounds as if it's almost booming through the air. You reach the end of the hallway, drawn to this ornate door that sits slightly open. You see a blueish-purple light peeking out through the cracks. You push the door ever so slightly as it slowly groans open, revealing a massive old timey ballroom... illuminated by black lights and full of masked hooded figures. Suddenly, the circle of the robed figures pause and turn, their eyes dark, but meeting yours through the masks. The music stops, and you hear whispers slowly fading out to nothing. The central figure slowly starts walking towards you. It seems you've opened the wrong door.

About the artist

Avatar for Gabriel-Alexander Palma

I'm a self-taught artist, who typically paints with oil. As I have continued to paint and learn, I've fallen into trying to blend realism with my unique vision of the world to capture moments of quiet solitude and deep contemplation. My paintings feature life-size figures, often reflecting a universal feeling of being eerily out of place or being an observer. I strive to invite the viewer to become a part of the artwork. My scenes often depict everyday life, emphasizing that our lives are part of a larger artwork. Whether it's an empty bar stool with a lit cigar and drink waiting for you, or an eerie secret meeting you’ve stumbled upon, my paintings try to draw you into the scene, making you an integral part of the story that I'm telling. This approach highlights that our daily lives, full of moments worth contemplating, are inherently artistic. The focus is primarily on the figures, set against backgrounds that create a conversation between movement and stillness. My work tries to invite viewers to pause and reflect, exploring their own emotions and experiences that may resemble what I've painted. Through my art, I hope to offer a space for reflection and connection in a world that often feels fragmented and overwhelming. Each piece is an invitation to join in and contemplate the human experience.
