Original artwork description:

“Personality” is an abstract painting. The pictorial technique almost makes the artwork three-dimensional. Huge use of black colors, together with small gold spots, creates a light and dark play on the background. Three squares at the centre of the painting are in contrast with each other. The shape in the middle is different from the others and it is characterized by white shadows on its sides. This contrast between the squares symbolizes a peculiar trait of human personality: it is metaphor of a person relating himself with different social contexts, which let him develop fears and shyness. This diffidence is fought with hard behaviors, which hide gentle and sensitive feelings.

Materials used:

Plaster, acrylic colors, ink, glue and golden leaf, painting on hardbound canvas
