About The Artwork
The soul of this simple painting is the atmosphere of a Sicilian evening. This is the magic moment of passage between light and darkness, when quietness and the smell of flowers take the place of the sun and movement. It is a moment of pure serenity. On the sides, the silhouettes of some jasmine flowers are drawn in white on a light blue background. In the central part, on a Silver mirror sheet, some orange blossoms are depicted realistically. This is the hearth of the composition. In fact, when someone is in front of this work, s/he simultaneously looks at both the painting and her/his own reflection. Her/his face is amongst flowers and leaves, as if s/he were in a virtual garden. In my opinion, this reflex creates a deeply intimate link between the painting and the observer who - maybe - will be able to smell the jasmine and orange flowers so pervasive during the Sicilian evenings. Thank to this distorting mirror that reflects many different people from diverse points of view, this work becomes dynamic. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. 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.
