Out of Focus | Oil on Canvas

In Out of Focus, Sepulveda captures a relatable moment of misdirected attention and sheds light on the power of perspective. An unevolved Kudu points at a naturally formed portal in the barren tree, representing an invitation to new experiences and possibilities. Contrastingly, the more evolved Kudu with fractionalized wings, a symbol of growth and freedom, is solely focused on the hanging apple - a symbol for worldly desires or distractions.

The grandeur of the door in the tree, a gateway to the unknown, is completely missed by the evolved Kudu, signifying how our preoccupations can sometimes blind us to greater opportunities and life-changing perspectives. The distant silhouette of a face in the clouds further echoes this theme, underscoring that there are always greater mysteries and opportunities that lie beyond our immediate focus.

This painting is a gentle nudge to the viewer, prompting us to ask ourselves: Are we, like the evolved Kudu, focusing only on the immediate and tangible at the expense of the potential magic that lies within the unexplored and unknown? A contemplative addition to any collection, this artwork serves as a constant reminder to keep our minds open to possibilities beyond our immediate vision.
