Darkness, death and decay lurk within this haunting oil painting by Agostino Arrivabene, yet a surreal form of life begins to bloom.

The transcendental portfolio of symbolist painter Agostino Arrivabene includes this deep cut (Lucifero, 1997) which seems to capture what the artist describes as a "diaphragm that divides the real world from the spiritual".

Italian painter #AgostinoArrivabene (b.1967) lives and works in seclusion in a seventeenth-century iron-gated house outside Milan. His paintings fall somewhere between romance and terror.

I love the work of Italian painter #AgostinoArrivabene
(b.1967). He lives and works in seclusion in a seventeenth-century iron-gated house outside Milan. His paintings fall somewhere between romance and terror. This image is one of his more chill oil paintings.
