Le Carrefour d’Hecate c. 1980

"Le Carrefour d’Hecate" is a painting by Italian-Argentinian surrealist artist Léonor Fini, created around 1980. The work depicts three female figures in an ambiguous setting, suggesting a dreamlike atmosphere. One figure stands in the foreground, a veiled woman in a flowing white gown, while the other two figures stand in the background, partially obscured by shadows. The figures' pale skin and the soft, dreamlike lighting create a sense of otherworldly beauty, a characteristic of Fini's work. The red sphere in the foreground adds a touch of mystery and intrigue, further enhancing the surreal nature of the composition. "Le Carrefour d’Hecate" is a captivating example of Fini's signature style, blending elements of surrealism, symbolism, and allegory to explore themes of femininity, desire, and the subconscious.
