Gaze (from the Series "Entropy")

Oil on Canvas. Unframed 24"x16" / 60cm x 40" 

In this work from Argentinian artist Ernesto Fernández Alle’s Entropy series, a poised female figure sits at the center of a spotlight, drawing all attention toward her. Her quietly defiant gaze anchors the composition, offering a moment of human clarity amid an atmosphere of swirling abstraction and a turbulent, dreamlike backdrop. Above her, a cloudlike presence with a faint human face drifts as a silent observer, echoing the recurring psychic motifs of the series. The painting captures a moment suspended between inner fire and introspection, inviting viewers to interpret the charged relationship between the embodied self and its elusive, hovering counterpart.

As with all pieces in the Entropy series, the narrative remains deliberately open. Alle invites viewers to consider what unfolds in this charged encounter: Is the figure confronting an aspect of herself? Being observed by a past she cannot name? Or simply existing within the unstable, beautiful disorder that shapes the emotional landscapes of the series? The painting offers no resolution—only an evocative moment held between inner fire and drifting thought, where entropy becomes a metaphor for the complexity of the human psyche.
