PASSIONS - suspended 22
oil on canvas
cm 50x70x3,5
anno 2022
PRIVATE COLLECTION
I painted some objects, a white t-shirt, a pocket watch that reminds me of my grandfather Domenico, a tin spinning top, and ropes
What unites these very different objects is PASSION!
I thought that fashion, play, collecting and work make a difference if it is supported by passion, which I represented with a thick rope to recall the strength that infuses passion!
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 paints.
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, to overcome the barrier of time, to give value to each moment.
