Description from the seller

Where My Face Used to Be

I stand barefoot at the threshold, holding wildflowers whose white petals tremble like half-remembered names. My green dress billows around me, dappled with light that has no clear source, and behind me a landscape of golden fields and violet mountains floats within a painted rectangle - a world framed inside a world. A black-and-white cat watches from the floor. I have no face, only pale hair and silence. The brushwork is smooth yet restless, the teal geometry around me cool and deliberate, pressing close.

-- Mounting: Professionally hand-stretched on a wooden chassis.

About the Artist
Enigma is an Italian surrealist working across dream, disruption, and wit - never settling into one mood or one way of seeing. Some paintings are quiet and symbolic, others catch a moment coming apart mid-motion, others turn a playful, knowing eye on art history itself. What unites the work isn't a single style but a single instinct: reality treated as something soft enough to bend, fracture, or reimagine - rendered always in smooth, luminous brushwork and bold, contrasting color. Every canvas is one of a kind, never repeated.
