VITYRA - 翠影 - No Reserve

翠影 Terre verte, green clay, clay and ochre on canvas 100cm x 140cm (39 inches x 55 inches) 翠影 (Suiei) — meaning “jade shadow” in Japanese — is a meditation on the quiet depth of green, the moment where light withdraws into earth and becomes memory. In this painting, contemporary artist VITYRA captures the elusive presence of shadow as it thickens, disperses, and folds into silence. Measuring 100 × 140 cm, the work is composed of terre verte, green clay, clay, and ochre on canvas. Its surface unfolds in tonal strata — deep mineral greens dissolving into obscurity, muted browns anchoring the ground, and faint ochre traces that hover like fading warmth. The forms remain fluid and unresolved, evoking water, stone, and breath at once. 翠影 speaks of impermanence: the beauty not of clarity, but of obscurity, of what resists being fully seen. It suggests the fragility of perception, the way vision slips into shadow, and shadow into vision. As with all works by VITYRA, the piece belongs to the philosophy of wabi-sabi — honoring transience, incompletion, and the dignity of the unseen. 翠影 is the shadow that endures not as absence, but as quiet presence. This original painting by VITYRA is discreetly hand-signed on the reverse side to preserve the purity of the artwork’s surface and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. VITYRA is represented by S-Gallery, a well-known gallery for Viennese boundary-pushing contemporary artists. The artwork will be shipped rolled in a secure, protective tube—an eco-friendly and safe method that reduces shipping costs and risk of damage. The canvas measures 100 x 140 cm, with an extra 5 cm border on each side for easy re-stretching. Frame placement is lightly marked on the back to assist precise mounting.
