First Impression of Elyrium is the first work in the series and the initial glimpse into this expanding universe. The painting presents a desert landscape shaped by heat, wind, and contrast, where three distinct scales coexist: a monumental buried head,the giant tree rises in the distance like a living monument on the horizon and a herd of desert leopards, a fictional subspecies created for Elyrium.
The piece introduces the idea of the vestige: a trace of an ancient world, partially lost yet still present. Through landscape, scale, and symbolic animal presence, the work opens the visual language that will continue to develop throughout the series.
