{"product_id":"giungla-blu","title":"Giungla Blu","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Giungla blu (Blue Jungle), Costantino returns to a figure at the center of his recent work: an Egyptian goddess of grain, rendered as a layered, shifting presence. Luminous turquoise bodies emerge from a deep green ground, overlapping and repeating so that the goddess appears to multiply across the canvas. Her pose is monumental and intimate, echoing the frontal stillness of ancient Egyptian relief while dissolving into soft, gradations of blue.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe title reframes the dense green ground as a jungle, a place of growth, concealment, and abundance. The restricted palette of green and turquoise gives the scene the quality of a nocturnal vision. Faces and limbs are suggested through pale, velvety marks rather than firm contours, so the image hovers between apparition and body, between the sacred figure and its slow return to the vegetal ground of the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Costantino is a Sicilian painter whose canvases read as collages of ordinary and ancient fragments, where natural forms, bodies, and delicate marks intertwine. Working with rapid chromatic passages, fine lines, and subtle gradations, he transforms everyday experience and mythic imagery into evocative visions. He lives and works in Sicily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francesco Costantino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58132436517196,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6790\/7660\/files\/GiunglaBlu_1.webp?v=1784299506","url":"https:\/\/thenomadartcollective.com\/products\/giungla-blu","provider":"Nomad Art Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
