About the Work
Siro Cugusi's work investigates the tension between the figurative and the abstract, offering a place of meditative introspection where one can contemplate beauty and mystery. Through paintings characterized by figures that no longer correspond to the names we gave them and which do not respect the traditional narrative, Siro creates an autonomous and personal language unknown, full of archaic and metaphorical meaning. This language is presented not as clear images, but in the way memories often present themselves to us, as in a dream: veiled, without logic, incomplete and colored by the moment. Human bodies, flora, fauna and the mineral world co-exist together, not in a rational space but where the laws of nature are upturned: an inner sanctuary for both human and mythical beings, a place of allure, mystery and sublime delights.

All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board.
