Enigma - The Flame I Set Free

The Flame I Set Free I reach toward the frame that hangs between worlds, my fingers barely parted, as though a word might escape them. Within it, a bird - vivid red and blue - erupts upward, wings spread wide against a darkness lit from below by fire I cannot name. I wear white, soft and draped, and carry red like a wound on my shoulder. Black petals crown my hair. The brushwork is luminous, smooth, each edge melting where dream meets stone, flame meets shadow. I let it go, and I am not sure if I am saving it, or losing myself. -- Dimensions: 100 x 75 x 2.5 cm -- Mounting: Professionally hand-stretched on a wooden chassis. -- Framing: None (no external frame); painted edges ready for display. -- Medium: Premium artists' oil colors on fine canvas. -- Style: Psychological Surrealism with a smooth brush texture. -- Authentication: Signed 'Enigma' on reverse with title and year. -- Condition: Pristine; dispatched from studio-affiliated workshop. -- COA: Hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity included. -- Shipping: Custom protective packaging; Catawiki Smart Shipping with full tracking and insurance.

About the Artist Enigma is an Italian surrealist working across dream, disruption, and wit - never settling into one mood or one way of seeing. Some paintings are quiet and symbolic, others catch a moment coming apart mid-motion, others turn a playful, knowing eye on art history itself. What unites the work isn't a single style but a single instinct: reality treated as something soft enough to bend, fracture, or reimagine - rendered always in smooth, luminous brushwork and bold, contrasting color. Every canvas is one of a kind, never repeated.
