Healing by Lina Poluna Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: oil on canvas panel Dimensions: 20 x 25 cm Year: 2025 Price: $579.00 USD Status: available This painting speaks of the wounds life inflicts and the tenderness required to heal them. Healing is a reminder that care can exist even where pain once lived. Why collect this work?A red-edged opening interrupts the closely cropped torso while both hands perform an ambiguous act of repair. Because the wound remains open, healing appears as difficult, unfinished labour rather than restored wholeness. Poluna’s profile links her practice to vulnerability and transformation, while her statement says the body can act as a container for memory and impact. Here, that stated concern supports, but does not settle, the tension between care and further injury.In the supplied image, the eyes fall outside the frame and the torso fills almost the entire composition. A slender implement, taut golden line, and clustered hands focus attention on the wound-like opening rather than individual identity.Catalogued as oil on a 20 × 25 cm canvas panel, the work uses close tonal modelling to give the figure volume. The medium also permits sharp linear accents that set the implement and thread-like strand against the dark field.The painting is pertinent to collections examining contemporary representations of bodily care because it refuses a clean before-and-after narrative: treatment and exposure occupy the same moment.
