Description from the seller

The Moon Knows My Name

I carry the weight of a pink that blooms too loudly against all this teal silence, and still I walk, unhurried, past the crow who keeps my secrets on his bottle-throne. Behind me, a painted sea holds the moon's reflection like a promise I stopped believing in. The flowers do not ask where I am going. My hair has taken on the colour of the walls, of the water, of the in-between hour - and my hands grip the fabric of myself as though I might float away into that black rectangle of night. The brushstrokes know what I won't say aloud.

-- Dimensions: 100 x 75 x 2.5 cm
-- Mounting: Professionally hand-stretched on a wooden chassis.
-- Framing: None (no external frame); painted edges ready for display.
-- Medium: Premium artists' acrylic colors on fine canvas.
-- Style: Psychological Surrealism with a smooth brush texture.
-- Authentication: Signed 'Enigma' on reverse with title and year.
-- Condition: Pristine; dispatched from studio-affiliated workshop.
-- COA: Hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity included.
-- Shipping: Custom protective packaging; Catawiki Smart Shipping with full tracking and insurance.

About the Artist
Enigma is an Italian surrealist who paints their own likeness into worlds of pure imagination - not to tell a story, but to ask a question.
The figures are deliberately genderless, blending masculine and feminine so no single identity stands between the viewer and the canvas.
Reality bends through frames within frames: rooms open onto other rooms, other skies, other selves, rendered in smooth, luminous brushwork and blocks of bold, contrasting color.
Each painting is a dreamscape where memory, symbol, and self dissolve into one another - and every canvas is one of a kind, never repeated.
