Cage Print

This painting represents a corner of the house of the Italian twentieth century paiter Xavier Bueno. It is part of a series of paintings created for an artist residence dedicated to this painter. In the painting I represented an ancient bird cage that the artist collected and a bird silhouette made by his sculptor son. All the things that are usually not noticed, once painted, can acquire meaning for us, and our life can be richer with new suggestions. This painting is a miniature. The small size allows me to give the idea of the smallness and the little importance of the represented subject with more immediacy. Furthermore the observer of the painting has the possibility to contemplate the painting in its entirety from the same distance from which I painted it.
