Confront for Villa Mondolfo

Work description and interpretation
In 2011 I painted a work in relation to some frescoes at Villa Mondolfo in Como that had been uncovered during restoration work.
The painting should have lived on that wall alongside the colours that prompted it.
Series description and interpretation
Relating
This series of pictures regards all of those paintings which sprang from an external request. They thus derive from having come into contact with the mood of someone else’s palette and of having displayed the chromatic impressions one layer on top of the other or placed alongside one of my pre-existing paintings. Usually it is a question of having related to another artist’s painting, but what also occasionally happens is that I compare myself with another language, for example a literary one, or that I am inspired by a city. This series of paintings can also spring from a form of commissioning, in other words the work I am weighing myself up against can be determined by someone else.
