MEANING

This painting incorporates a number of metaphors drawn from mythological symbolism, with several allegorical representations of food and abundance, of prosperity, of welcome and good omen, which in ancient times were portrayed in very special contexts. That makes this piece particularly suitable as a precious wedding gift.

 

INSPIRATION

We conceived this work by imagining how to create a “living” painting, soft and bright like a piece of fresco detached with the “strappo” technique. We imagined a window that opens onto an ideal landscape, where a luxuriant and generous nature beautifully shows off among the sculptural elements. From this vision, we extrapolated the main scene, with a sumptuous vase of fruit and flowers in the foreground. It is supported by a large shell, with two dolphins on either side.

The textured brush strokes and the natural imperfections of hand-made art woo the Soul of Beauty, resulting in the magic of a unique and original work.

 

PROCESS

This pictorial work is made with traditional lean tempera techniques, with natural clays, pigments, and glues. The final stages of aging and patina provide the painting with the added charm and mystery of a precious object bearing the signs of time.

 

Shipping and customization:
