Salamandra is an evocative abstract work that explores the theme of metamorphosis through a single, organic shape suspended on a warm, earth-toned background. The central form, fluid and irregular, resembles something between a geological formation and an ancient fossil impression—its edges softened like matter shaped by heat or time.
The surface is rich with tonal variation, where deep browns and smoky blacks bleed and merge, creating textures that evoke charred earth, smoke trails, or ink drifting through water. This visual language aligns closely with the myth of the salamander: a creature historically believed to withstand fire, symbolizing resilience and transformation.
In ochre or parchment-like hues, the minimalist background anchors the composition with a timeless atmosphere, inviting quiet reflection. Salamandra is a piece that bridges the elemental and the contemporary, a modern relic with alchemical overtones.
