CMYK XXIV (Royal Family)

The King's Hidden Son

The King's Hidden Son

The piece features the king's hidden son, a malformed being who symbolizes the dark secrets and hidden truths of the royal family. His distorted figure suggests an internal struggle, reflecting the desire to hide his existence and the uncomfortable aspects of his lineage from the world. This representation provokes a reflection on the themes of infidelity, shame, and disloyalty, raising questions about legitimacy and honor within the family.

The work evokes the notion that not all secrets are ready to be revealed, alluding to realities that the people and society, in general, are not prepared to see or accept. The distortion of the king's son's body becomes a powerful symbol of what lies beneath the surface, inviting the viewer to confront the difficult truths that are often ignored.
