About The Artwork
In this painting I have depicted a Goddess from a Norse mythology: Freya. This is my second version of the theme and this time I have represented her in an unusual iconography. I should have painted the Goddess with golden tears because very often Freya cried for her husband’s infidelity. Tears are her distinctive characteristic. I preferred to distort her iconography because I decided to use this painting to speak about women and their strength, their capacity to overcome problems and difficulties. So I have represented a woman who is proudly watching the spectator from above… she isn’t a victim anymore (though she is still suffering for her husband behavior) as she has always been depicted. The painting shows a big female half bust figure that occupies almost all the surface. There is a contrast between the foreground and the background: in the first one, the figure is depicted in a precise way while the background is flat and made of golden leaf. I have decided to represent just few elements from Freya iconography: the golden and a precious necklace but, as I said, this myth is just an excuse to talk about something else… ready to hang

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
