Description: In Weight of the Day, a seated figure buries his face in his hands, surrounded by sharp lines, tangled forms, and the looming presence of a red, net-like mass. The composition suggests psychological tension, perhaps exhaustion, entrapment, or inner unrest. Using grid patterns and intersecting lines gives the environment a claustrophobic feel, as though the mind is caged. Sirvan Kanaani invites viewers into a raw, personal confrontation with invisible burdens through layered textures and expressive distortion.
About the artist: Sirvan Kanaani is a self-taught painter who began his creative journey with calligraphy. Inspired by everyday life, his works blend human figures with natural and architectural forms. Each piece is a spontaneous dialogue with the canvas, reflecting movement, rhythm, and shared human experience.
