The Tree of Orpheus

This powerful composition captures a majestic tree in a low‑angle perspective, imposing a sense of ascent and grandeur. The graphic treatment, recalling the precision of an etching or an ancient engraving, outlines with almost surgical precision the tormented textures of the bark and the complex interweaving of the bare branches. The contrast is striking: the deep darkness of the ink stands out against a vibrant gold background, whose craquelure and reflections evoke sacred icons or illuminated manuscripts. Between organic realism and precious abstraction, the work transforms a raw natural element into a spiritual figure, frozen in luminous eternity.
