ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In the artwork "Meditation and Poetry" I represent a woman resting, her sinuous bust arching and folding into a soft abandon. The body has a material aspect, obtained through the application of plaster. The brushstrokes increase their speed as they move away from the face, in meditation, towards the skates, in representation of the speed. I chose to use the plaster for its rough, harsh surface. It offers a poetic meaning, lunar and winter allusions. The pictorial surface is poetry and invites the creation of metaphors. The work is inspired by the statue "La Fiducia in Dio" by Lorenzo Bartolini kept at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan. This painting is part of my “Born to skate” series. In the series "Born to Skate", I experimented with a different style, Pop, recalling popular works of art whose emblems are often evoked in modern art. I added skates, thereby creating a surreal contrast. The icons I chose often evoke the themes of flight and passion, I depict emblems of the total dedication that marks great athletes and dancers, who make huge sacrifices to express their passion and the freedom of emotions, to “reach the sky”. The painting is done with acrylic colors and plaster on cotton canvas. The edges are painted and the signature is present on the front and back sides. The artwork is ready to hang and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The surface is finished with a double layer of mat varnish, which makes it resistant to UV rays and the passage of time .
