About the artwork

In this intriguing and mystical photograph, we see a woman exuding elegance and mystery. She is wearing a black turtleneck jumper, pulled up high over her nose and mouth, revealing only her eyes. Her hair is tied back tightly in a neat bun, giving a sense of order and simplicity. The most striking and enchanting element of this composition is the raven resting on her shoulder.

The raven, with its glossy black feathers, almost seems to be one with the woman. The bird's head is positioned so that its eye falls exactly over the woman's eye. This creates a fascinating illusion where it seems as if the raven's eye is actually the woman's eye. This interplay between man and animal creates a magical and somewhat sinister atmosphere, as if together they form one creature guarding the secrets of darkness.

The woman and the raven stand in front of an austere, nondescript wall, drawing all attention to their mysterious appearance. The simplicity of the background contrasts beautifully with the complexity and dark elegance of the scene. This picture symbolises the deeper connection between man and nature and evokes a sense of mystery and contemplation.

The image exudes a sense of mysticism and symbiosis, where the raven seems to be not just a companion, but an extension of the woman. This artwork invites the viewer to ponder the hidden secrets and subtle nuances of the connection between man and beast, between elegance and darkness.
