Aes Argentumque

“Aes Argentumque” is a contemporary piece that explores the complexity of human nature, highlighting feminine duality. The mixed media used, with the torn image transferred onto the portrait, creates a unique aesthetic that is thought-provoking and invites the viewer to explore the different facets of human identity. This superposition of elements creates an effect of fragments and textures which add depth to the work. The face of the woman in the portrait is delicately depicted, with a tenderness and serenity that shine through the features. The shades of gray used in the transferred image and the painted portrait create a subtle harmony, reinforcing the evoked duality.
