About the artwork

On the other hand, however, from what Cyclops tells me, as in any balanced ecosystem, the antithesis of the Eaters, namely the Retæ, also exists in the cave.
These mischievous and ravenous little beings tear to shreds everything that comes within their teeth's reach, spreading dirt everywhere.
Fortunately they are much smaller and less numerous than the Eaters, and this allows the cave to maintain a clean, tidy and decorous appearance.
----------
The work “Retæ” is notable for its contemporary and expressive graphic style, merging elements of digital and abstract art. The piece showcases organic lines and shapes that evoke movement and fluidity, complemented by a vibrant and contrasting color palette that amplifies the design's energy. By excluding realistic details and emphasizing simplified and exaggerated forms, the artwork seeks to convey emotions and ideas rather than depict reality. The composition features a stylized animalistic face, distorted to engage the viewer, reminiscent of art brut or naive art influences. Drawing upon abstract expressionism and pop art, “Retæ” offers a modern interpretation of traditional artistic styles, merging abstraction with figuration. Overall, it presents a bold and vivid visual realm where subjectivity and emotion take precedence over realistic representation.
