Undine
Many artists turn to mythological themes in their work. Here, you see a contemporary interpretation of Undine, reimagined through the artist’s vision. Bathed in moonlight, the feminine figure enchants men with her beauty and song—yet those who succumb to her charm become entangled in her flowing hair and perish. The artist delicately conveys the fragility of human relationships through quartz plates, etched with the entwined bodies of lovers in the intricate technique of intaglio. On the reverse side, the body of a man is shown falling into the depths, consumed by love for this mysterious woman. This image is rendered in monochrome enamel painting, capturing the drama and allure of the myth.
