Lienzo The Mill of Time: Symbolic Oil Painting of Old Man

A Deep Contemplation on the Value of Time and the Process of Memory. This original oil painting by artist B. Farouk is a captivating piece that skillfully blends Realism with Symbolism. The artwork features an elderly man (or clockmaker) with a large white beard, meticulously processing a collection of vintage pocket watches using a manual grinder (meat grinder), while larger antique clocks surround him.The piece reflects dramatic lighting and exquisite detail in the man's features and sense of concentration. The painting serves as a powerful metaphor for the passage of time, the fragmentation of the past, and the attempt to master memories. It is an excellent artwork for adding philosophical depth, warmth, and masterful technical skill to any living room or office space.
