AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: IN THE FOREST
Artist: Nush Menna
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions 100x70 cm
Year: February 14, 2026
In this intense figurative composition, Nush Menna reworks the universal archetype of Little Red Riding Hood with a contemporary sensibility, transforming the fairy-tale narrative into a visual reflection on vulnerability, identity, and the dimension of the psychological shadow.
The female figure, rendered with extraordinary painterly precision and strong emotional presence, occupies a space suspended between reality and symbol. The wolf behind her is not simply a narrative threat, but becomes a metaphor for instinctive power and the inner tensions that accompany the process of growing and gaining awareness. The contemporary iconic elements present in the basket introduce an additional layer of reading, creating a dialogue between childish innocence, pop culture, and personal transformation.
The artist’s technical mastery emerges in the tactile quality of the painted surface, in the construction of light, and in the richness of the details, giving the work notable visual depth and a significant theatrical presence.
The work is coherently placed within the artist’s ongoing inquiry, oriented toward exploring the emotional and symbolic dynamics of human beings, and represents a mature example of the new European contemporary figuration. For execution quality and narrative strength, the piece stands out as of particular interest for private collections and exhibition contexts devoted to contemporary figurative painting.
The artist Nush Menna certifies that the work titled
“Nel Bosco"
is an original work entirely made by hand.
