Swan Alchemy


Swan Alchemy - Painting by Ilaria Berenice

Title:  Swan Alchemy

Year: 2024

Size: 50 x 70 cm

Technique:  Mixed media on panel with collage, décollage, and painting

Swan Alchemy unfolds through layers of construction and removal — a process where the image is not planned but revealed.

Paper fragments, scraped surfaces, and gestural interventions build a field of tension in which structure and dissolution coexist.
The swan emerges unexpectedly, not as a symbol to illustrate, but as a form arising from the internal logic of the work itself.

Color operates architecturally: planes of red, blue, and yellow intersect with textured strata, creating depth and spatial resonance. The central square acts as a stabilizing axis within a constantly shifting surface.

Rather than narrating transformation, Swan Alchemy embodies it — as a state of becoming shaped by material intelligence and intuitive construction.
