Fungo

Fungo captures a fleeting moment of woodland stillness. The artist builds form through dense, impastoed layers of pigment, creating a surface that feels both tactile and ephemeral. Warm ochres and umbers define the central subject, a solitary mushroom rising from a cool, verdant ground. Brushwork is vigorous, almost gestural, suggesting the organic chaos of the forest floor and the brief, vulnerable life cycle of its inhabitants. The painting isn’t a precise depiction, but rather an impression—a sensory experience of damp earth, filtered light, and the quiet dignity of natural forms. A restrained palette and focused composition lend the work a contemplative mood, inviting the viewer to pause and consider the subtle beauty often overlooked.
