AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Collector's item.
100% hand-painted on cotton canvas.
This painting should be displayed under UV light for a 100% experience.
Work sent without a frame, in a shipping tube via DHL Express.
Accompanied by COA, a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Eclipse captures the moment when light ceases to be just illumination and becomes narrative. The work presents a large-scale face, where intense shadows cross the skin like an intimate astronomical phenomenon: an eclipse that occurs not in the sky, but on the human surface. The raised hand functions as a celestial body that blocks and fragments the light, creating a play of contrasts that reveals and conceals simultaneously.
Water droplets amplify the thermal sensation — as if the heat of the light were tangible — and become small prisms that break the shadow, suggesting vulnerability and resilience. The deep blue background contrasts with the warm tones of the face, evoking the tension between cold and heat, outside and inside, cosmos and flesh.
