The Call of the Mountain

This painting represents a mountain illuminated by the moon, with a rock rising behind it in the shape of a human nude, with the chin resting on the hand and the head turned toward the viewer. The figure conveys a living, mysterious, and alluring presence, almost like a call.The work comes from a personal desire to portray the mountain not only as a landscape but as an intense, almost sensual experience. For me, the mountain signifies attraction, mystery, and a silence full of meaning – a force that calls you, challenges you, and transforms The two layers of mountains—one in the foreground and the other in the background, with the bare rock—create a sense of depth, suggesting both a real physical space and a symbolic dimension: the front mountain as appearance, the one in the back as essence or desire. stretched on branches, acrylic and napkins on canvas, 2025.
