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

Part of the Décollage and Painting series, Swan Alchemy embodies the alchemical cycle of transformation — creation, destruction, and rebirth.
The work unfolds through layered paper collage, scraped and reworked surfaces, and expressive gestures where shapes emerge spontaneously, without premeditation.

In this process, the image of a swan appears unexpectedly — a symbol of elegance, purity, and inner grace.
Its emergence seems to transcend the abstract field, evoking a state of spiritual elevation born from the chaos of matter.
Vibrant tones of red, blue, and yellow intertwine with textured patterns, balancing order and disorder in a dynamic dance of light and shadow.

“Swan Alchemy” invites contemplation on transformation as a living act of creation — where beauty rises naturally from the depths of change.
