In La Grazia del Riposo, the figure withdraws into a moment of suspended intimacy. Her posture is soft yet deliberate, as if resting not from fatigue but from visibility itself. The crown, luminous and ornate, does not assert power but becomes an extension of her inner world, resting lightly upon her thoughts rather than ruling them. The palette of emerald green, deep rose, and burnished gold wraps the subject in a quiet opulence. Light moves gently across her skin and fabric, revealing a body at ease with stillness. This is not a portrait of dominance, but of possession turned inward. Authority dissolves into contemplation, and ornament becomes memory rather than display. The painting invites the viewer into a private interval, where beauty is not performed but simply allowed to exist. ⸻ About the artist: Agatino Bivona, known artistically as Bivaga, was born in Biancavilla, Sicily, in 1972 and currently lives and works in Adrano. A pupil and close confidant of master Antonio Sciacca, Bivaga began his artistic journey at a young age and has spent over three decades refining his unmistakable visual language. His hyperrealistic portraits, rich in symbolism and emotional nuance, have been featured in major exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Celebrated in critical publications such as I Grandi Maestri (2009), and reviewed by prominent art critics like Nicola Villari and Alfredo Pasolino, Bivaga’s works are held in private collections across Europe, the United States, and Japan — carrying fragments of Sicilian elegance far beyond its borders. — Full catalogue on www.BivagaStudio.com Instagram: @bivagastudio Curated by Havisham & Co.
