// The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names by Jaume Plensa is a limited edition relief print from 2022, measuring 76 x 56 cm. The piece features a minimalist depiction of a human head, rendered with fine mesh-like lines, connected to an extended quote. Within the silhouette, a shadowy figure pushes a cart, symbolizing the weight of knowledge and the human pursuit of truth. Plensa’s use of text as a structural and narrative element emphasizes his exploration of language, identity, and wisdom. The composition’s stark, monochrome aesthetic invites contemplation on the relationship between words and perception.
