AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The work presents itself as a refined study on vulnerability and transverberation. The central figure, immersed in darkness reminiscent of Caravaggio's tenebrism, appears in a state of ecstasy or deep sensory surrender.
The symbolism of the hands: The numerous hands surrounding the woman's face act as ambivalent narrative elements: they can be interpreted either as protective presences trying to support the deity or as shadows of the subconscious attempting to grasp her. This tension creates a psychological dynamism that contrasts with the almost marble-like immobility of the face.
The use of color: The chromatic choice of the drapes — deep blue, ochre yellow, and vermilion red — recalls Renaissance sacred painting, elevating the subject and giving it a regal, timeless aura.
The zenithal light shapes the volumes with extreme precision, focusing on the anatomical details of the hands and the delicacy of the neck, making the scene both sensual and spiritual at the same time.
In summary, the painting manages to capture that suspended moment between dream and reality, typical of the myth of a goddess floating between two worlds.
Unique artwork, oil painting on canvas, created entirely by hand.
Provided with a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist.
