This painting was born from a chromatic impression encountered in Etruscan painting.
I had the joy of stepping inside the reconstruction of the Tomb of the Chariots (Tarquinia, 500 BC) at the Fondazione Luigi Rovati. I love Etruscan art for its graphic simplicity, its full colors, and the essential rhythm of its figures.
I was alone, and I kept that emotion to myself, without sharing it with anyone, not knowing it would later resurface in my painting. I did not try to reproduce the scenes or the figures of the ancient frescoes.
That experience remained instead like a trace of color in my memory.
In this work those colors reappear within my pictorial language: circular forms, solid color fields, and a quiet balance between tones, with the addition of gold—always present in my paintings.
