Original artwork description:

I painted a seashell entangled on a barbed wire.
The title is Boundaries to represent the limits we have to overcome every day with the lightness and delicacy of a seashell.
The shell has an iridescent colour and this was my challenge in this work to try to reproduce the same effect, but only the viewer will be able to tell me if I passed the test!

I created this work on a canvas, treated the background and coloured it with several layers of colour to achieve a unique atmosphere, traced the outline of the painting with chalk and only then did I start painting with oil colours.
I use oil colour by overlaying many thin layers of appropriately diluted colour to create the effects I want.
Once perfectly dry, I finished the surface with a final coat of varnish to make it UV-resistant.

SOSPESI is the series I started painting in 2022, with which I wish to reflect on the suspended moments that life places before us and, through art, overcome the barrier of time, to give value to each moment.

The work does not have a frame but is ready to hang.

The work is signed on the front and back and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
