"AURELIAN" is more than a portrait; it is the personification of time held within a face. In this piece, the artist CID シド introduces a character who acts as a bridge between two states of being. Aurelian represents the wisdom of one who has observed much and spoken little; he is a figure born from the need to give form to human resilience.
The work articulates a profound exploration of ontology and fragmented identity. Aurelian is presented with an asymmetric gaze—the most distinctive hallmark of CID シド’s visual language. His vibrant blue eye, wide open, represents the "now," a direct connection to the viewer and the external world. Conversely, his half-closed eye is a sanctuary for the internal—the personal history that remains untold but defines who we are.
The technical execution reinforces this existential narrative. Through the use of relief paste and acrylics, the artist builds an orography of ridges and edges that give volume to experience. The final oil paint finish elevates the piece, providing an organic warmth and chromatic depth that transforms Aurelian from a mere image into a living presence. A work designed for collections seeking a piece with soul, narrative strength, and high-end technical mastery.
