Universo Labialeis Italian and can be understood as “lip universe” or “universe of the lips.” The title reflects the central idea of the work: a pair of three-dimensional lips that emerge powerfully from the surface, containing an entire cosmic world within them.In this painting, the lips are not only a physical form, but also a symbolic gateway - a place where language, desire, identity, and imagination meet. Inside them, the universe unfolds through stars, splashes, and deep space-like textures, turning the mouth into a surreal landscape. The 3D effect intensifies this presence, making the lips feel almost sculptural, as if they are breaking out of the canvas.
The red streaks crossing over the lips refer to airplane contrails and the atmosphere of our Earth - a thin, fragile layer that separates us from the universe beyond. This adds another dimension to the work, linking the intimacy of the human body with the vastness of space, and suggesting both connection and separation.
The painting plays with scale, intimacy, and infinity, combining bodily form with cosmic imagination in a visually striking way.
