Description from the seller

Adrift Between Worlds

I stand where the sky forgets its name, my skirt a tide of grey-green gathering around me like something unfinished, something still becoming. Above, a sun and an earth float untethered, companionable and indifferent. Behind me, a canvas tears open into fire - red and orange, urgent and old - while pale fabric spills from it like an exhaled breath. A blue bird calls at my feet, small and certain in a way I am not. I look downward, as one does when the weight of everything visible becomes almost too quiet to bear.

-- Dimensions: 120 x 80 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.
