The Silent Violin I keep my hands folded so they will not reach for it, the violin resting untouched in that dark window where he still sits, waiting for a song neither of us plays anymore. The room has turned the color of held breath, quiet and deep. I lean against this old table because standing alone has become difficult, my dress pooling like something already given up. He does not look at me. I have stopped expecting the music to begin again. -- Dimensions: 100 x 75 x 2.5 cm -- Mounting: Professionally hand-stretched on a wooden chassis. -- Framing: None (no external frame); painted edges ready for display. -- Medium: Premium artists' acrylic colors on fine canvas. -- Style: Psychological Surrealism with a smooth brush texture. -- Authentication: Signed 'Enigma' on reverse with title and year. -- Condition: Pristine; dispatched from studio-affiliated workshop. -- COA: Hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity included. -- Shipping: Custom protective packaging; Catawiki Smart Shipping with full tracking and insurance. 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.
