Refractal Amnesia 2023 Print

Refractal Amnesia is an oil on canvas made in December 2023 at the artist's mountain atelier in Piedmont. In the center, a semi-reclining female figure observes the viewer of the work. Her right arm pointing upwards encircles her head as if to protect her brain that can no longer remember. The term fractal inspired by the mathematical concept exaggerates the idea that even the most complex and repeated elements are lost from the mind and no longer present in our memory. This is the translational idea of a humanity that forgets, that repeats in the history of time experiences already lived while omitting the possible and already lived consequences.The large stained glass window in the background represents references to an outside that is perceived but not seen.
