About this artwork
This captivating print, titled "Contortions in Black," showcases the exquisite "maniera nera" technique. Expertly executed with a single, striking black ink, this work is printed on 300gsm white Magnani paper, offering a tactile and refined experience. The artist's deep love of printmaking, honed at the Academy of Florence, is evident in the meticulous details and expressive lines that define this work.
Inspired by a profound encounter with a special… juniper tree during a trip to Sardinia, this print captures the essence of that memory. The artist sought to preserve that vision, translating its unique form into both graphic and pictorial works. These twisted, intertwined forms evoke an inner turmoil, inviting viewers into a surreal, engaging, and immersive world.
This artwork, with its striking black and natural tones, would make a distinctive addition to any collection.

« Between the finite and the infinite, between insinuating and hiding, between the illusion of beauty and the drama of the real, chasing the pure sublime stasis of the object, warmed but not burned by my inevitable anxieties. »
Milena Nicosia is an acclaimed painter, draftsman, and print-maker from Italy. Nicosia’s work is characterized by the integration of juxtaposing patterns and shapes made with varying gradients of density. Using pigments, pastel and engravings, she creates both monochromatic and color-oriented works united by their shared attention to dimension and textural elements.
