SFUMATO

Shrouded in soft light, sfumato is a Renaissance painting technique that blurs lines and borders, cloaking a canvas in ambiguity. Like a veil between one world and the next, Sfumato appears and vanishes as it bends in the air. Like fairytales conjure illusions of flickering lights and changing winds, the pattern is here, there, then shifts again. Sfumato has a sense of the supernatural — it lingers between heavenly planes, where nothing is at it seems.
