Volto Painting #6

Volto painting #6 explores the archetype of the human face as a reflection of the soul’s unique and complex inner dimension. Inspired by the ancient egyptian fayum funerary portraits from the 3rd century ad, this piece is created on paper mounted on wood with oil pigments, marble powder, and wax. The layered technique enhances the ethereal, almost spectral presence of the face, blending historical reverence with contemporary expression. A profound figurative artwork that contemplates identity and humanity.
