acrylique on canvas 80x80cm – 2026
This portrait embodies the perfect symbiosis between the visible and the invisible, drawing its essence from the dual meaning of the word Setae. Serving both as the Roman deity invoked to guide travelers and the biological term for those microscopic bristles that allow the animal kingdom to feel and cling to the living world, Setae here becomes an allegory of absolute connection. The subject of the painting, adorned with these sensory and sacred attributes, is no longer a simple face: they become a mystical guide, a hybrid being capable of capturing the secret vibrations of the world while forging a protective path through the unknown.
