VITYRA (XX) - 濘惑

Neiwaku
Ink, charcoal, ochre and clay on canvas
140cm x 100cm (55 inches x 39 inches)

Neiwaku — a word of Japanese origin meaning “Mire of Illusion” — invites the viewer into a mysterious space where form and perception dissolve. Created by contemporary artist VITYRA, this large-format abstract ink painting plays with the dualities of earth and ether, sediment and spirit.

The composition flows with a primordial energy. Deep, absorbing blacks stretch across the canvas like heavy soil or fading memories. Ochre fissures and clay washes ripple through the darkness — like veins of minerals or forgotten trails — bringing a surreal warmth to the void. The painterly diffusion is both intentional and elemental: pigments are custom-mixed by the artist using ink, charcoal, ochre and clay, making every piece a truly unique alchemical object.

This contrast of natural materials with ambiguous, dreamlike forms is at the core of VITYRA’s work. In Neiwaku, the sediment does not just settle — it speaks. It blurs the line between erosion and emotion, landform and landscape of mind. Painted on a 100% cotton canvas, the surface holds both power and fragility.

This original painting by VITYRA is discreetly hand-signed on the reverse side to preserve the purity of the artwork’s surface and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. VITYRA is represented by S-Gallery, a well-known gallery for Viennese boundary-pushing contemporary artists.
