This painting was created on the occasion of the centenary of Gustav Klimt’s death, and exhibited during a celebratory group show ("Gustav Klimt. Between symbol and archetype", Palermo, March 2018). It celebrates the Woman, that is a fundamental subject in the artistic journey of the great Austrian artist as well as mine. Here I have chosen to represent two characteristics of femininity, namely. delicacy and sensuality. I express them through symbols such as circles and spirals, which are inserted in different ways and in various parts of this work. The movement of the figure's arms recreates a spiral. Circular elements also recur as a sort of a barely perceptible embroidery in the background, which incorporates another element linked to the woman, that is water. Just outlined onto the drapery that covers the woman’s belly, there are some golden spirals. She, the protagonist, holds a flower in her hand. This latter as well as the spirals are all symbols of fecundity. The soft colors of both the complexion of the woman and the orchid are linked to the idea of delicacy. A precious delicacy, because it is fragile, and generates beauty and life. 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.
