Description
The very young twins portrayed embody all the strength and solidarity of the mythical twins par excellence: Castor and Pollux. Cheek to cheek, side by side, the two sisters support each other, and regardless of what their destiny may be, they face it with attentive eyes, aiming in the same direction.
The oil paint highlights their similarities and subtle golden hair, harmonizing with the background. The edges of the canvas enclose the twins, emphasizing their closeness and symbiosis, excluding from the viewer’s sight a shy embrace, which is hinted at by the inclination of the girls’ arms in the lower part of the painting.
Reincarnations of the Dioscuri myth, the figures bring innovation and freshness to an ancient story, highlighting the ability of twins to support each other throughout their lives, going beyond differences, sufferings, and difficulties.
