Eclipse

Nina Pettinato, 2025 · acrylic on canvas · 100 × 80 cm

Work at a Glance
A medium-format acrylic painting on canvas, created in 2025 in a vertical format using heavily diluted, translucent layers of color to achieve a dreamily soft visual effect.

How to Read the Painting?
Deep crimson and warm dusty rose merge into a glowing veil, from which a human figure barely perceptibly emerges – as if one were gazing through frosted glass or into a distant dream. In the upper left, an intense sun-yellow explodes like a final flash of light just before the onset of darkness, while the figure beneath it sinks silently and submissively into the warm red. Everything feels ethereal, suspended between appearing and vanishing, between light and total silence – much like the very moment of a solar eclipse.

Who is this Painting for?
'Eclipse' is a work of rare delicacy and emotional depth, imbuing any space with a quiet, magical atmosphere – perfect for those seeking art that touches the soul without the need for explanation.
