About this artwork

Underneath a seemingly typical still life, sets of eyes are hidden on the canvas giving a sinister illusion of being followed. Alluding to a poltergeist–or a noisy ghost–this painting by Vidya Gastaldon urges its viewers to take a closer look at the ordinary so as to unearth the mysteries that lie before our own eyes.

With her mystical, fantastical and extremely vivid approach to art, Gastaldon develops a sort of harmonization of qualities both spiritual and physical. Her mystical approach–nourished from an array of beliefs that go from Hindu and Aztec mythology to meditation and yoga–is testament to her multifaceted practice. She engenders new beliefs, and by means of negative and positive impulses she pushes social unconsciousness out of the way, liberating our collective thought of the predefined egregores that oblige us to keep reproducing spiritual and social patterns.
