Fauns and Nymphs, 2007

Item's description:

Signed lower left: Fauns and Nymphs 2007, outdoor session Zaborek, K. Bereźnicki

Framed work.

The painting comes from a private collection.

This pencil sketch on paper by Kiejstut Bereźnicki depicts a mythological, dynamic scene unfolding between the titular fauns and nymphs. The faces of the figures carry the characteristic psychological portrait touch typical of the artist’s work, while the complex composition adds a distinctive character to the entire depiction. The lightness of the technique contrasts with the intensity of the subject matter undertaken by the artist. Such contrast is typical for Bereźnicki’s works.
