Gradale Painting

Triptic over wood representing The Last Supper. This first piece was done, mainly, with golden paints, marble dust, three different coloured volcanic sands and brown varnishes. The word “GRADALE” is almost not understandable on the right side of the piece. “Gradale” is the ancient latin word related by Cistercian chronicler, Helinandus, over an hermit man explainig the meaning of the plate used by Jesus Christ in the Last Supper. I started working just thinking to create one single piece. The piece (Gradale first pannel) can be defended as a single artwork itself. In fact, to be honest, since last minute painting was going to be hanged up in the wall I had the doubt to separate it or not. Final decission was taken by Roberto. This is it. Gradale: Part I This first piece was done, mainly, with golden paints, marble dust, three different coloured volcanic sands and brown varnishes. The word “GRADALE” is almost not understandable on the right side of the piece. “Gradale” is the ancient latin word related by Cistercian chronicler, Helinandus, over an hermit man explainig the meaning of the plate used by Jesus Christ in the Last Supper. Marble dust and volcanic sands… The three black stripes above, links this first part of painting to all the rest of artwork in a very simple way. Once I decided to keep painting and create a second and a thrird part of the work, what I firstly decided, was to create under this circumstances, a three-panneled picture composing a triptych of 3 meters landscape or so. Second and third part was painted at same time taking care of not become a different style to the feeling and meaning of first one. I started drawing a big cross in the middle of the second pannel, representing crucifixion. Third pannel was waiting for something in relation with The Last Supper. In fact, palette of colours was inspired in Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, simplifying palette of colours to much more brown shapes. Gradale: part II and III The three crosses under the black curved line was included as kisses left to the rest of mortals from Jesus Christ, but once the piece was over, after place above the cross a piece of rope and straws (materials used by roman soldiers to fix Jesus Christ), the meaning took much more sense representing the three falls on his way to his crucifixion. “Sic luceat lux vestra” written is the right last part of the painting.
