Ecate 2018

Roberto Ferri's "Ecate" (2018) is a masterful example of contemporary realism. The painting depicts a dramatic encounter between a woman and a winged, demonic figure. The woman, clothed only in a simple, flowing garment, gestures towards the heavens while the demonic figure clutches her in a passionate embrace. This captivating scene is imbued with a sense of both beauty and danger, echoing the complex and often contradictory nature of the goddess Ecate, who was associated with magic, witchcraft, and the underworld in ancient Greek mythology. The intricate details and lifelike rendering of the figures, combined with the atmospheric backdrop, create a powerful and unforgettable image.
