Sancta Mortem

2024

Price on request

Sancta Mortem

Ink and metal acrylic paint

42 X 29.5 X 0 cm

In Sancta Mortem, the human face emerges as a serene icon framed within a mandala-like geometry. The composition recalls stained-glass windows and Gothic ornamentation, where sacred symmetry and symbolic detail convey both fragility and transcendence. The gaze of the central figure is calm yet piercing, suspended between the earthly and the divine. The interplay of ink and gold leaf generates a duality: the precision of line and stippling anchors the work in realism, while the radiant gold field transforms it into a timeless icon. Rich with medieval and mythological echoes, the piece blurs the boundaries between portrait, symbol, and sacred image. Sancta Mortem reflects on mortality as a passage into sanctity, suggesting that death itself may hold beauty, order, and an eternal light.

Aegis of the night

white pencils on black paper and golden fineliner

59.6 X 42 X 0 cm

In Aegis of the Night, the warrior appears as both portrait and apparition: a profile study rooted in realism, yet adorned with fantastical armor that borders on the mythological. The finely rendered face contrasts with the ornamental helmet and cuirass, where flowing lines, scrolls, and wing-like forms transform the figure into a hybrid of man and legend. The use of white ink on black paper evokes a sculptural, almost carved presence, while accents of gold infuse the composition with regal and otherworldly energy. The piece resonates with echoes of Renaissance profile portraiture, yet transcends history through its visionary, symbolic embellishments. Aegis of the Night reflects on the thin line between reality and imagination, grounding the warrior in human strength while elevating him into the realm of myth.

Isis revealed

Ink and metal acrylic paint on paper

42 X 29.7 X 0 cm

Isis Unveiled reimagines the Egyptian goddess as both divine presence and archetype of eternal femininity. The standing figure of Isis, crowned with the solar disk and cow horns, holds the ankh and scepter—symbols of life and authority—while behind her, hieroglyphs, the Eye of Horus, and lotus motifs evoke the sacred order of ancient Egypt. The delicate ink linework renders the figure with both sensuality and monumentality, while accents of gold leaf elevate the composition into the realm of the sacred. The goddess emerges not as a distant myth, but as an enduring force, timeless in her authority and mystery. This piece reflects on the continuity of myth across ages: the unveiling of Isis becomes a metaphor for revelation, truth, and the eternal interplay between humanity and the divine.
