- “Forgotten Door”, an oil on canvas from 1983, is part of the “Contemporaries” collection.
- The central motif is a pair of old wooden double doors, painted in a classical, realistic manner.
- The doors are reinforced with metal grilles, behind which glass once existed.
- They are set within a dilapidated wall, whose cracked ochre plaster reveals layers of old red brick beneath.
- The carefully rendered textures emphasize material decay and the passage of time.
- The composition evokes a mood of melancholy and nostalgia, suggesting memories of vanished lives and forgotten spaces.
- The painting invites quiet contemplation of history, loss, and enduring traces of the past.
