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.
