The Treachery of Images 
by Keith Waller
Original Artwork 
 
 
A haunting tableau unfolds on a canvas dominated by a stark contrast of light and dark. Silhouettes of two figures, shrouded in mystery, stand amidst a backdrop of vibrant hues. The woman, her form outlined against the ethereal glow, seems to be lost in thought. The woman, standing beside her, appears to be offering comfort or guidance.
A circular element, reminiscent of a celestial body or a timepiece, hangs in the background, casting an eerie glow. The scene suggests a moment frozen in time, a connection between the past and the present. The interplay of light and shadow, the contrast between the figures and the backdrop, creates a sense of depth and intrigue.
The painting invites the viewer to contemplate the nature of memory, the weight of the past, and the enduring power of human connection. It is a haunting and evocative image, a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we share.
