This thought-provoking oil painting confronts the viewer with a chilling yet powerful vision: a world under constant watch. Dominated by a monochromatic palette of black, white, and steel-blue tones, the upper two-thirds of the canvas are filled with a mass of eye-like surveillance devices, each unblinking, each observing.
Beneath them, a crowd of individuals—walking, standing, talking—go about their daily routines, seemingly unaware or desensitized to the omnipresent gaze above. Their postures are casual, yet the painting hints at a deeper unease, a subtle commentary on modern society’s surrender of privacy.
Rendered with detailed brushwork and a limited, cold color scheme, the painting blends realism with symbolic abstraction. It speaks to themes of surveillance culture, conformity, digital overreach, and the erosion of anonymity in public life.
