Artwork description

This painting, Jupiter and Io (Improvisation) (2021), dissolves a mythological embrace into near-abstraction, where figures flicker at the edge of visibility. Against a vast expanse of pale emptiness, fragmented forms and colors gather at the lower portion, as though the myth itself struggles to materialize from memory or dream.

Hints of Io’s body emerge in soft whites, blending into swirling strokes of red, blue, and gold that suggest Jupiter’s divine presence. Their encounter is less literal than atmospheric, marked by fluid transitions between form and dissolution. The figures lean and bend, caught in a flux that makes desire feel both fragile and untethered.

The composition’s openness amplifies a sense of absence, turning myth into a meditation on what remains unsaid. This interplay of presence and void transforms the legendary seduction into an exploration of fleeting touch, memory, and the shifting boundaries between the human and the divine.
