FRAGILE - sospesi 21

In this work I painted a seashell, (the kind you rarely find on the beach but when you do, they are so fragile that you hold them very delicately!) a rope and two rusty metal circles.
I wanted to represent the fragility of important bonds that need to be supported and carried with extreme care and delicacy but at the same time with strength as the big, strong ropes are.


I created this work on a canvas, treated the background and coloured it with several layers of colour to achieve a unique atmosphere, traced the outline of the painting with chalk and only then did I start painting with oil colours.
I use oil colour by overlaying many thin layers of appropriately diluted colour to create the effects I want.
Once perfectly dry, I finished the surface with a final coat of varnish to make it UV-resistant.

SOSPESI is the series I started painting in 2022, with which I wish to reflect on the suspended moments that life places before us and, through art, overcome the barrier of time, to give value to each moment.

The work does not have a frame but is ready to hang.

The work is signed on the front and back and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
