The Counsellors

In The Counsellors, three men stand together, embodying the multifaceted nature of the mind’s perspectives. Their formal attire creates an air of deception, obscuring which viewpoint might hold the truth, reminding us that not every opinion is clear-cut. The absence of distinct facial features—while still partially visible—symbolizes the anonymity of thought, suggesting that ideas can often feel disembodied and impersonal. The dark palette envelops the figures, reflecting the often shadowy and complex process of thinking, where clarity can be elusive and doubts can loom large. This painting invites viewers to explore the tangled web of their own thoughts, highlighting the struggle to discern right from wrong in a world of competing ideas.
