Description from the seller

Moon Over Still Water

I stand where night has always lived, dressed in a language no single country owns - panels of colour that argue and then reconcile, silk remembering every hand that ever dreamed it into being. Three black cats hold the corners of my silence. The trees have turned the colour of deep water, round and calm as held breath. Behind me the moon offers itself without asking anything in return. I hold the fan like a question I have already answered. My face is quiet because the ache has been here long enough to become familiar.

-- 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' oil 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.
