The Eternal Game, 2024 by Marlies Schweyer
The Eternal Game, 2024
Oil on canvas
24 x 30 cm
“The Eternal Game explores the cyclical nature of human existence—our patterns of desire, conflict, repetition, and renewal. The work reflects on the eternal tension between opposing forces: creation and destruction, freedom and control, chaos and order.
Like players in an infinite loop, we move forward while repeating the same questions, the same mistakes, and the same hopes.
At first glance, the piece may suggest a confrontation or a ritual. Symbols and gestures seem frozen in time, yet in constant motion. The "game" here is not about winning or losing—rather, it
is about our participation in a larger rhythm, one that began long before us and will continue long after.
The figures in the painting appear both ancient and timeless. They might be archetypes, or fragments of ourselves—trapped in strategies we don't fully understand, driven by rules we never agreed to. And yet, there is beauty in this repetition, in the way we keep trying, keep playing, even when the outcome is uncertain.
The Eternal Game asks: Are we playing the game, or is the game
playing us? “- Marlies Schweyer
