"Carmen 1-2002"
„Carmen 1“ is an explosion of passion – a dramatic aria on canvas. Inspired by Bizet’s opera, Janus doesn’t retell the story. He feels it, and translates it into a language of pure emotion, rhythm, and color. The painting pulses just like the music – intensely, unsettlingly, irrevocably.
The dominant red is Carmen herself – a woman of fire, free, untamed, beautiful and dangerous. Her presence spreads like a flame that doesn’t ask, only dances. Black slashes cut through like the conductor’s baton of fate – the shadow of a tragic end, a love that leads to ruin.
This painting is not a scene – it is the emotional expression of the opera’s climax, when there’s no turning back, when the heart beats louder than reason. Carmen sings here not with voice – but with paint.
