Queste opere sono realizzate con strati di vernice acrilica per fondere vecchie storie con quelle nuove. La vera essenza emerge solo quando viene sezionata.

Questo processo sfida l'idea di completamento di un'opera d'arte, rispecchiando la resilienza della vita. Ogni strato si aggiunge alle storie completate, proprio come le nostre esperienze accumulate.

Crearle è imprevedibile. Partendo da una tela bianca, ogni strato contiene un dipinto finito, che si sviluppa verso una forma finale. Ogni elemento contribuisce al nucleo con la sua storia.

Sapendo che saranno smontati, questi pezzi hanno un significato più profondo. Osservando l'opera finale, non vi è solo la percezione del risultato finale ma dell'intero processo sottostante.

These artworks are made of layered acrylic paint to blend old stories with new ones. The real essence emerges only when dissected.

This process challenges the idea of an artwork's completion, mirroring life's resilience. Each layer adds to the completed stories, much like our accumulating experiences.

Creating them is unpredictable. Starting with a blank canvas, each layer holds a finished painting, building towards a final form. Every element contributes to the core with its own history.

Knowing they'll be taken apart, these pieces hold a deeper significance. When you see the final artwork, you're holding not just the finished product but the entire process behind
