Fortuna Collage

Overview: This vintage portrait was printed on a large canvas and then manipulated with my usual handmade techniques, where fluorescent colours, intricate decorations and the signature crochet were put all together. This is my very first work on a big scale, a new challenge that I wanted to face with a deeper though, abandoning for a while my sarcastic vein. “Fortuna” (Fortune), is dedicated to an Italian crime news that caught my attention and moved my soul. In 2014 a six years old girl was thrown down from a building and found dead, two people were arrested and accused of the crime (the case is still open). Suspects are also under investigation for sexual abuse on the killed child and on other kids living in the building. The dynamics of this story are more complex because of the reluctance of the people living in the area in collaborating with Justice. I wanted to tribute the sad protagonist of this horrible story, focusing my work on a personal celebration of childhood and its innocent beauty. Materials used: Pens, acrylics and wash tape on canvas.
