Introducing Tormenta de Enigmas (Conundrum Storm), a a pregnant mermaid painting by Emilia Cantor.
Known for her charged colour palettes, Cantor sets deep magentas, purples, and pinks against stark fields of black, generating a deliberate visual tension. Her work is inspired by a formal, European painting tradition, honed during her training at the Florence Academy of Art, yet her approach to colour is distinctly contemporary, influenced by design colour and the digital world’s heightened saturation and light manipulation.
Influenced by artists such as Odd Nerdrum, Hieronymus Bosch, and Francisco Goya, Cantor brings a surrealist sensibility to her compositions. Her work operates in this deliberate fusion of tradition and modernity, where classical techniques meet an aesthetic language shaped by contemporary design and digital influence.
In this pregnant mermaid painting, a pregnant mermaid sits atop a dark rock, gazing out into the abyss with a mixture of emptiness and hopefulness. It’s a haunting composition with a backdrop of almost black ocean and grey sky, and her use of colour evokes a sense of otherworldliness.
