ABOUT MY ART
∙
Natura Morta
Natura Morta aims to spread awareness on the problem of soil extinction.In a desolate desert land a small patch of brown soil stands at the center of the scene. It's the last healthy piece of soil on Earth and it is placed outside the surface to show us all its richness through its complex stratifications, variety of colors and different shapes that we usually fail to notice as they're jealously kept hidden underground, like a precious treasure. A treasure that we risk losing forever. We can perceive this by looking at all the plants born from it that are now withering. Among them, a little doll looks helpless with her sad eyes to their terrifying fate. A fate that may have already become a past, in fact, the only living thing in the scene seems to be the doll herself. The rose, then, is a reference to the Beauty and the Beast's enchanted rose, a symbol of time running out and a desperate and silent call for love."Natura Morta" is an Italian term to indicate "Still Life" art, which literally means "Dead Nature". Better keep it a figure of speech and not let it become a tragic future, so let's take care of our Mother Earth by giving her back all the love and attention she has given us for all these years.
The artwork placed in the top 10 of an International Art Competition promoted by PopovySisters in 2022.
