Description
“Psyche” – Il Scimmia – 2025
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
Artist: Il Scimmia
Material: Canvas stretched on wooden frame
The female figure emerges from light and shadow, fragmented yet alive. With soft yet powerful brushstrokes in blue, white and dark tones, the body becomes a reflection of the inner self – poetic, elusive and in constant motion.
“Eros & Psyche” – Il Scimmia – 2025
In these two works, Il Scimmia interprets the myth of Eros and Psyche – the eternal encounter of love and soul. The figures, painted with powerful impasto technique, appear both present and elusive.
Eros, the male figure, embodies the energy of desire – a body in motion, built from the very force of paint.
Psyche, the female figure, shifts between light and shadow – a dissolving soul, drawn between presence and absence.
Together, they form a story of body and soul, desire and consciousness, the visible and the invisible. Fragmented yet alive, anonymous yet powerfully present.
