Wolves

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 paints, deliberately exposed areas of white, and free-flowing traces of color.

How to Read the Painting?
Luminous cobalt blue and fiery red flank the image like two primal forces, between which the bright white of the canvas opens up like a space to breathe – sharply contoured, unpredictably shaped, as if movements had left behind a trace that can still be felt, even though the force itself has long since stormed onward. Warm ochre and a dark, earthy brown drift through the composition like shadows in the undergrowth – fleeting yet present all at once. The painting possesses something rudimentary, something archaic – an energy that cannot be tamed.

Who is this Painting for?
'Wolves' brings an untamed, vibrant energy into any room; it is a work for those who seek art that dares to take risks – raw, free, and unmistakable.
