The prince and the pauper
Oil on canvas / 23.6" x 35.4"
The background represents thinking. The right side means the good, the better, the best. The left side of the background embrace more space to symbolize the ease to see things from the negative side, which is the side of vision where the pauper (pencil) focus his thoughts, feelings and actions. The pince (ballpoint pen) in contrast, turns his attention, actions, thoughts and goals to the possitive side, placing him in the upper side of the book of life. Both of them coexist en the same universe; the difference is the thought direction of each one.
