About the Item
In "The Ivy," the artist transports us to a world where nature and history converge in a captivating chromatic dance. On the left side of the composition, an obelisk rises, its figure gradually emerging from a palette of blue tones fading into the warm hues of yellow, evoking the transition from day to night. In contrast, on its right side emerges the head of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility, framed by lush ivy vegetation. The head gently dissolves into the golden and ochre tones of the surrounding flora, as if the god himself were merging with the nature he symbolizes. The ivy, in its persistent advance, merges with history, creating an intangible link between the past and the present.
The space between these two iconic representations is dotted with small squares of color, floating like pixels in the air, maintaining the chromatic alignment of the two main elements. These fragments of color add a contemporary touch to the work, reminding us that history and nature are always in dialogue with the modern world.
