Francesco Dezio - Lilith

The Artwork
"Lilith" is an intense exploration of female strength and sensuality, rendered through a dramatic monochromatic palette. The work blends contemporary expressive brushwork (echoing Jenny Saville) with sharp, modern graphic rigor. The figure, captured in a moment of ecstatic abandonment, emerges sculpted by light from a deep black void, in dialogue with a stylized golden lily: a symbol of purity here reinterpreted in a symbolist key.
This painting marks a new stage in the artist's research on the contrast between classical anatomical realism and contemporary graphic design aesthetics.

Technique: Oil and mixed media on prepared rigid panel (Artist MDF).
Dimensions: 53x56 cm.
Support: The rigid panel ensures stability and optimal preservation of the oil layers over time.

Artist Biography
Francesco Dezio is an Italian artist based in Altamura (Puglia), specializing in oil painting and traditional techniques. His research focuses on figurative expressiveness, chiaroscuro, and attention to detail, with constant references to classical painting and Caravaggesque atmospheres. He has created pictorial cycles dedicated to great myths and contemporary reinterpretations of historical subjects, always exploring the psychological depth of the characters (as seen in the recent sale of the work 'The Last Night of Cleopatra'). He has collaborated with publishers (e.g., Terrarossa Edizioni) and galleries; his works are held in private collections across Europe.
