Sergo Tbileli’s painting “Reflection” has an intellectual-surrealistic undertone. The artist depicts an imaginary and unseen concept, the eye, which is one of the most symbolic and mysterious motifs in human history, as a reflection of the human spirit and mind. In this piece, the artist’s pictorial language appears to be more rational and restrained. A decorative net surrounds the central symbolic sign, consisting of biomorphic and cosmic elements rather than the floral-ornamental motives typical of the artist’s other works. The color scheme, balanced between cold and warm tones, creates a three-dimensional illusion within the flat composition.
