"Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite" – Oil on Canvas, 2024
Immerse yourself in the profound essence of "Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite," an original painting by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). Rendered on a 48"x72" canvas, this evocative piece reveals a fragment of a face emerging from a deep, black canvas, framed by expressive white lines. These purposeful strokes seem to trace the structure beneath the skin, hinting at the delicate boundary between life and mortality. The face, only partially visible, appears both ethereal and eternal—a fleeting glimpse of something timeless and infinite.
As the title piece of Hernandez’s Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite collection, this work delves into the limits of human perception and the eternal unknown that lies just beyond. The black canvas represents a void, with the face within it symbolizing both identity and the soul's aspiration to transcend earthly limitations. This painting invites viewers into a space where life, death, and eternity converge, prompting reflection on the vast mystery that lies beyond the veil.
