Hey, Death! Will you be my friend?

Stories of Shadow and Light (2024)

Narrative series of 7 paintings and 4 pastels.

It is the story of an encounter.

Between a painter who imagines herself as Orpheus and a model who has written about Eurydice.

Between painting, music and cinema; between shadow and light; between life and death.

Together, they reenact the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice on canvas.

If we accept that there is an Orpheus in every artist, seeking to enchant an audience or soften the heart of Death, what audience is there to win over today, and what Death to enchant, if not the world we live in — a world that may, precisely, be the realm of Death? And what Eurydice might be won back from it?
