Original artwork description:

In "Tango on the Street," the artist captures the emotional essence of tango, blending personal passion with the collective pulse of city life on a vibrant street. This spatula-applied oil on canvas piece celebrates unexpected connections in open spaces.

Drawing from the daily vibrancy of Buenos Aires, the painting channels the raw spirit of tango from dance halls to the public domain, making the urban landscape a part of the performance. The artwork vibrates with intense choreography and captivating rhythms of tango, reflecting life's chance encounters that lead to deep connections.

Through rhythmic brushwork and a rich palette, viewers are invited to feel the music beyond the visual spectacle, to sense the unspoken dialogues, and to engage with the complexities woven into human relationships. The choice of oil and spatula technique brings a tangible energy to the scene, mirroring the dance's liveliness and its textured, rhythmic essence.

"Tango on the Street" is not just a painting; it's a dynamic celebration of culture and an introspective look into life's dance, where each movement narrates our shared and personal stories.

Selected as the visual focal point for the dance show "Fotos de Tango" in 2014 and showcased across Italy, the piece has profoundly resonated with audiences, highlighting the powerful intersection between visual art and performance. Celebrated in publications such as Biancoscuro magazine and the "Beyond the Horizon" catalog, the painting stands as an emblem of tango's timeless allure and art's ability to unveil and transform our perception of reality.
