Original artwork description:

THE MUG INVENTED

I usually paint what I see, I often find the subject among my things or among the many images on the internet.

This time I made it all up.

In my studio I had a support to paint with a ready-made base colored in antique pink that I had prepared a long time ago for another series of works, I had never used it because it was too small, but this time I really needed that tablet.

I didn't know which subject to use as a model so I poked around in my cups, among the images downloaded from the internet, but nothing seemed right for that support to paint.

After several attempts I stopped for a moment, closed my eyes and thought about what I saw in that support to paint.
Letting myself be carried away by my imagination, I imagined a small milky white cup, embellished with small golden embroidery and defenseless in the act of falling to the ground and irreparably breaking.
I quickly traced the drawing with chalk and then I began to paint with the oil colors that I use by overlapping many thin layers of suitably diluted color to create the effects I want.


This work is part of the series COGLI L'ATTIMO and is 34, with this series I try to tackle the theme of not wasting time, enjoying every moment that life gives us, before it's too late.
