Original artwork description:

"Sorriso" is a piece from the series "Le Cassette," a collection of small-scale paintings (20x20 cm) created with great care and dedication. Each artwork is housed in a wooden box, artistically reinterpreted to evoke my surname, transforming the packaging into a frame that allows for a creative display once the lid is removed.

The painting depicts a female figure, created with a technique that combines figurative art with digital elements. The composition is divided into pixel-like segments, created with the use of a palette knife to add depth and texture. The color palette ranges from warm oranges and reds to cool blues and purples, creating a dynamic contrast that imbues the subject with strong emotional intensity. The figure emerges from a white background, with eyes partially obscured by abstract strokes and lips suggesting a slight smile, reflecting the essence of the title "Sorriso."

Source of Inspiration:

"Sorriso" is inspired by my passion for portraits and the exploration of human emotions, especially those of women. I am deeply moved by the complexity and depth of feelings that people, particularly women, can express. This drives me to capture these nuances on canvas, using pixel fragmentation to represent the variety of human emotions.

Purpose of the Artwork:

With "Sorriso," I hope viewers will feel a connection to the emotional depth and complexity of human experiences. I aim to evoke a sense of introspection, allowing observers to explore their own feelings and thoughts as they immerse themselves in the artwork.

Choice of Medium and Style:

I chose oil on canvas for its versatility and its ability to create rich layers and vibrant colors. The subject of fragmented and pixelated figures reflects my vision of blending digital and traditional art. This style captures the duality of our existence, suspended between the physical and virtual worlds, and offers a reflection on the contemporary human condition.

Additional Notes:

The wooden box that contains the artwork is a tribute to my surname, making each piece a unique and personal work of art. The combination of emotional content and innovative presentation makes "Sorriso" a special and distinctive piece in my collection.
