Ram Horns Table with Anthracite and Gold Reflections, Dry Herbs - Facing the Wild - Ram Edition

The visual

The portrait is structured around imposing twisted horns, painted in broad strokes of gray and deep black that structure the entire composition. The fur of the muzzle is colored with a vibrant terracotta orange , contrasting with the chalky white that surrounds the eyes and nose. The gaze, rendered with warm amber dots, fixes the viewer with a striking intensity. All around, touches of gold evoke dry grasses and ears of corn, bringing an almost floral texture to the neutral background. The pictorial technique combines thick impasto and sketched areas where the white canvas still appears. This freedom of gesture gives the work a contemporary character, between animal representation and gestural abstraction. The whole plays on a marked contrast between the anthracite dark tones and the warm highlights of gold and ochre.
