Description:

•Vulpine Abyss•

- Executed in egg-oil tempera, a demanding traditional painting technique rooted in the long history of tempera painting, which dates back to Antiquity and flourished in medieval and Renaissance art. Combining the binding qualities of egg emulsion with oil, this medium requires patience, precision, and a carefully controlled layering process. Each passage is developed through deliberate applications of colour, making the technique both time-intensive and technically intricate. The resulting surface balances subtle luminosity with expressive, gestural brushwork.

A solitary fox emerges from the dense, shadowed undergrowth, suspended between presence and disappearance. Vulpine Abyss explores the tension between the animal’s alert, almost confrontational gaze and the surrounding forest, where forms dissolve into layers of darkness, muted greens, and fragmented light.

The fox becomes both a physical presence and a psychological figure—a moment of awareness within an environment that remains elusive and unstable. The loosely articulated vegetation, reflective passages, and controlled drips create a sense of depth without fully describing the space, allowing the forest to exist somewhere between landscape and abstraction.
