Lupus 2019

Dragan Ilić Di Vogo made “Lupus” in 2019, layering dreamy imagery in an ethereal oil. Look closely, and you'll notice how the paint drips and flows. These marks are like memories, blurring the line between what’s real and what's imagined. The colours blend and bleed into each other, creating a sense of movement and change that’s so physical you can almost touch it. The horse seems to be made of stardust and dreams, its form dissolving into the cosmic background. There’s a small dab of red near the horse’s nostril, a burst of energy in an otherwise muted palette. This small detail feels like a portal, drawing you deeper into the painting's mysteries. "Lupus" reminds me of Odilon Redon’s symbolist paintings, where dreamlike visions and strange creatures emerge from the darkness. Both artists invite us to embrace ambiguity and find beauty in the unexpected.
