Once again, the artist employs a deep, visceral cobalt blue a symbol of melancholy and introspection.The gaze is repeated across there horizontal bands; the richly detailed eyes allow the viewer to perceive the gradual shift from one emotion to another. In the first band, the gaze appears happy, open, and alert. in the second, the artist depicts himself with closed eyes, symbolizing a moment of inner suspension and the need for rest to reconnect with himself. Finally, in the last band, the eyes change once nmore, revealing a weary, pained, and veiled look. The brushstrokes broken by the contrast with the white background reflect this very shift in mood. In doing so, the artist invites us to share in a typical day of his: the morning's happiness transfroming into sadness as evening approaches an inevitable process that unfolds without apparent reason.
