AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An introspective and magnetic work that blends visual art with the poetic depth of synth-pop music. The painting, 50x50 cm in size, depicts a tawny owl immersed in a stark chiaroscuro contrast, a symbol of wisdom and nocturnal mystery.
The title and soul of the work are a direct homage to the Depeche Mode track "Waiting for the Night." On the canvas is handwritten an iconic verse from the song:
"When everything's dark keeps us from the stark reality"
The use of black and white emphasizes the ethereal and "vulnerable" atmosphere typical of the artist's expressive exploration, rendering the subject almost as a apparition in the dark. The tactile texture of the canvas adds dimensionality to a piece that invites silent contemplation.
Technical Details
Technique: Acrylic, oil and Uni Posca on canvas.
Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm, canvas thickness 3 cm.
Certificate of Authenticity (CDA): The work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, guaranteeing its originality and provenance.
