Description:
This artwork challenges the notion of coexisting with the opposite, presenting a scene where the ornate Baroque floor merges with a suspended table in a theatrical moment. The hand-carved and painted wooden base mimics the antique floors of grand Baroque mansions, evoking luxury and decadence. The table, depicted on a canvas attached to the structure, becomes the stage for a symbolic dinner—a dialogue between opposites, allies, and adversaries in an eternal game of power.

Meaning & Significance:
The piece invites reflection on the duality of human relationships, the tension between beauty and unease, the sacred and the profane. Its three-dimensional nature gives it an imposing presence, making it an ideal work for those seeking an artwork that transcends the canvas and transforms into a conceptual and visual experience.
