*** About Symbolism and Op Art: Symbolism, an art movement that started in the late 19th century, seeks to depict the ideas and emotions through indirect hints and symbolic references, distancing itself from the representational accuracy demanded by realism. Op Art, originating in the 1960s, plays with optical illusions and often uses black and white to create compositions that seem to buzz and flicker, challenging the viewer’s perceptions of reality. Combining these two schools of art, the artwork provides a visual experience that is rich in allegory and dynamic visual effects, encouraging interpretations that delve into both the conscious and subconscious meanings.
