The impasto technique imbues the painting with a tactile quality, underscoring the artist’s intent to evoke a symbiosis between the natural world and its mythical inhabitants.When scaled up to 44×54 inches, “Faun and Nymph in the Woods” assumes a monumental presence that harmonizes with luxury interior environments.
