Description from the seller

Ivan Pili is an internationally active contemporary painter, recognized for his distinctive approach to figurative hyperrealism and atmospheric abstraction.

In “The Secret Witness”, the body emerges like a hidden presence observed through absence itself. Framed by the shape of a keyhole, the figure becomes both exposed and unreachable — suspended between revelation and intrusion. The gesture of partially covering the body introduces tension, where intimacy is not offered freely, but perceived as something distant, guarded and silently withheld.

Info & Shipping:
- Some images present the artwork placed within illustrative interior settings to help visualize it in different environments or with different framing options. The proportions are maintained consistent with the actual dimensions of the artwork.
- Originality: Each artwork is an original piece, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
- Condition: Shipped professionally stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
- Protection: All shipments are carefully and professionally packaged to ensure maximum protection during transit.
- Delivery: Immediate dispatch. For shipments outside the European Union, delivery times may vary depending on local customs procedures.
