Papilio Nigredo — The First Shadow of Transformation

Screenshot_20250523_131657_Instagram.jpg

In alchemical tradition, nigredo marks the beginning: the blackening, the descent into the unknown before any transformation can take place.

Papilio Nigredo is a spontaneous series born from that space — from ink blots, collage, and the quiet observation of form emerging from chaos.

The butterfly (papilio) appears as a symbol of metamorphosis. The eye, of awareness. Together, they reveal something hidden in the stain — something we weren’t meant to see until we looked twice.

Each piece is unrepeatable.

One piece from this series is now available — $50 MXN, signed.

A study in darkness, for those who love subtle symbols and the weight of mystery.
