Possession by Lina Poluna Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: oil on canvas panel Dimensions: 20 x 25 cm Year: 2023 Price: $580.00 USD Status: available Possession depicts the quiet domination of dark thoughts. There is no struggle — only submission. The mind yields first, and the body follows, caught in an intimate act of inner surrender. Why collect this work?Dark bird forms merge with the surrounding field while crossing the figure’s face and chest, turning concealment into the painting’s central form of control. Poluna states that she paints emotional states rather than stories. That intention clarifies the compressed encounter here, although the image leaves the cause of submission unresolved.The photographed work shows an arched nude figure with the head tipped back. Birds interrupt the body at the face, throat, and torso, while a pale cascading form remains ambiguous between hair and wing.The documented oil on canvas panel supports close tonal transitions across the body and decisive silhouettes around it. At 20 by 25 centimetres, the scene concentrates its drama within a small format.For a collection examining representations of bodily agency, Possession provides a pointed case: exposure does not produce access, because the face is withheld and the surrounding creatures become instruments of restraint.
