Enigma - I Still Keep Vigil

I Still Keep Vigil

Je veille encore.

I stand on what remains of him, holding the folded dark like a closed wing. My hair has gone the colour of forgetting, my coat the colour of deep water at dusk. Behind me, someone else's fire burns in thick, urgent strokes - orange and grief and the smear of a figure who watches without intervening. I do not look down. I do not need to. The lid is open and the stillness inside is familiar, almost tender. My shadow spills forward, longer than I am, reaching toward something I cannot name. I hold the umbrella though there is no rain coming.

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.
