Ladra di foglie n.2 (2025)Painting by Milena Nicosia

38 x 38 x 3cm (framed)

£785.97

In this work, Milena presents herself as a "gentle thief," a silent figure who travels the world collecting fragments of forgotten beauty. Leaf Thief is more than a painting: it is a visual confession, a gesture of love towards what is fragile, ephemeral, and often overlooked.
The leaves seem to delicately emerge from the canvas, imprinted like relics on a surface reminiscent of the skin of memory. The colors—intense and harmonious—converse with the architectural backdrop, where barely visible buildings evoke the passing of time, the civilization that builds, and the silence that remains.
Milena steals not to possess, but to preserve. Each vein is an unspoken word, each pigment a pulse stolen from chaos. Her artistic gesture is imbued with the desire to save nature from oblivion, to intertwine the wild with the constructed, the dream with matter.
Leaf Thief is the portrait of a soul that collects, remembers, and transforms.

Materials used:

pigment, canvas, wood
