- FEMME FATALE
Original artwork description
"A magnetic gaze suspended in a sea of azure matter."
In this work, the figure of the 'Femme Fatale' is reinterpreted as a modern icon of silent strength and enigma. Emerging from an arched, luminous background that suggests both a sacred niche and a theatrical spotlight, the subject captures the viewer with a gaze that is as firm as it is elusive. The choice of deep blue tones—evoking the historical cyanotype process—strips the figure of its temporal context, placing it in a dimension of pure, cold elegance. It is a portrait of feminine power that doesn't need to shout to be felt, wrapped in a frame that looks like a recovered treasure from a lost era.
The Technique: Alchemy and Slow Time This piece is the result of a refined fusion between photographic memory and physical experimentation. The image is imprinted onto a wooden panel and then transformed through a textural layering of pure earth pigments and metallic oxides. Using egg white as a natural binder—following ancient traditions—and fixed by the power of direct sunlight, the process creates a unique, millenary-like surface. The resulting textures and organic cracks are an integral part of the narrative, marking the passage of time and the artist's dedication.
