Description:

"In the eyes of the crow, time does not pass — it only watches."

In Omen, the artist delves into the ancestral archetype of the crow — a mystical creature that moves through myth, dream, and superstition as a messenger between worlds. With precise mastery of pointillism and hatching, each detail of its dense feathers, imposing beak, and enigmatic gaze is meticulously rendered until a presence emerges that transcends the paper.

The crow here is not merely an animal: it is a symbol, a silence, a mystery. It appears as an all-seeing figure — guardian of secrets and premonitions. The work challenges the viewer to go beyond the surface, to face a gaze that reflects our own unconscious.

It is in this tension between the real and the symbolic, the beautiful and the shadowed, that the artist finds her voice — a language that needs no words to speak of fate, intuition, and the wisdom hidden in the dark.
