Description
Dan Faco creates a work on the concept of rebirth: the black and white body, collected and meditative, generates from itself a pair of wings, vibrant with color and vital energy.
The central subject—a woman sitting cross-legged, wearing sneakers with her hair tied back—is painted with monochrome gray fields that recall the street aesthetic and chiaroscuro of urban photography. Her crouched posture suggests introspection, but from this restlessness, wings explode: not painted feathers, but real feathers applied to the board, layered with acrylic and resin drippings that create a three-dimensional texture.
The thick resin captures the light, creates reflections, and gives the work material depth. Real feathers add organic tactility, transforming the work into a sensory experience that goes beyond visual perception. The geometric background—lines, curves, and overlapping transparencies—creates architectural depth where the body is placed as if in a suspended urban space.
The Flight of the Soul represents the power of rebirth: the contrast between monochrome and polychromy, between the static nature of the body and the dynamism of the wings, between the pictorial materiality and the physical presence of the feathers symbolizes the moment when the soul is freed.
