Original artwork description:

LACRIMA, made with the latest over-and-unders and aluminum casting, is an extraordinary example of emotional minimalism, where the simplicity of the shape conveys a strong visual and emotional impact.
At the center of the composition, a cast of aluminum develops which takes the shape of an elongated teardrop, almost suspended in time. The metallic fusion, with its organic curves and smooth surface, creates a marked contrast with the intense red background, which amplifies the drama of the work.
The use of overlapping sheets adds depth, while the brushed aluminum frame frames everything with a touch of refined modernity. The particularly significant color choice: red, symbol of passion, pain and vitality, brings out the cold glow of aluminium, creating a tension between emotion and matter.
The title LACRIMA suggests a reflection on pain, on the transience or on the purity of a sincere emotion. The single drop, frozen in a solid, metallic form, can be interpreted as a symbol of resilience or an emotion trapped in time.
The work invites the viewer to a profound interaction, leaving room for personal interpretations. The strength of the piece lies precisely in its ability to evoke contrasting feelings with extreme simplicity: the lightness of the concept against the heaviness of the metal, the fluidity of the form against the rigidity of the material.
LACRIMA is a powerful work in its essentiality, which manages to combine emotion and design with extraordinary effectiveness.
