Original artwork description:

An original piece from the series “Sistine mood”, oil on paper, 42 x 29.7 cm, 2016.

This series of drawings was inspired by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Some portraits are directly based on the figures painted on the vault. Then I painted other faces trying to reproduce that style, and the characteristics that in my opinion distinguish it: the intense expression of the faces, the light and half transparent colors as if the aim was to let emerge the underlying drawing, the profile marked by a darker line, the background of a mostly uniform sky.

Other features:

Medium & materials: oil on paper
Finishing: protective gloss varnish (transparent mastic paint)
Location and year created: Turin, Italy - 2016
Certificate of Authenticity: included, with signature of the artist on photograph
Signed: on the front, bottom right corner
Surface of the paper: smooth

Materials used:

oil on paper
