A glass of apologies, (Unspoken Journeys)
Size: 67 x 55 cm
Country: Spain
Technique: Oil on canvas
Year: 2024
It shows a woman holding a glass of wine, a symbol of the small escapes people use to soften emotional weight. The glass represents unspoken apologies and feelings of regret—things that are difficult to face directly.
The hand touching the head reflects emotional pressure and exhaustion. The figure is holding back words and emotions that remain unexpressed. The wine represents a way of delaying confrontation, a quiet attempt to process guilt and unresolved feelings.
The fragmented colors represent broken emotions and inner conflict. Each shape acts as a barrier, masking pain rather than releasing it. Glass of Apologies is a silent toast to what has passed and to what cannot be changed.
