About the Item

"Where do we come from? " This drawing (100 × 78 cm) unfolds as a visual ecosystem where human, animal, and botanical forms merge into a single composition. The artwork is created on professional Fabriano paper using natural pigments extracted from leaves, flowers, and tree bark, combined with pastel, pencil, flower petals, fragments of dried paint, color, and ink. These materials remain visible on the surface, contributing layers, textures, and traces of the creative process that become an integral part of the composition. The composition explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world, presenting them as interconnected rather than separate realities. Animals, plants, human figures, and fragments of everyday life coexist within the same space, suggesting that all living beings share a common existence. A recurring theme in my work is the encounter between the gaze of animals and that of humans, serving as a reminder of our shared condition and equality. The presence of a smartphone introduces a reflection on contemporary life, questioning how consumer culture, constant connectivity, selfies, and the endless stream of images can distance us from direct experience while nature continues to bear the consequences of our idea of progress. This drawing is also meant to be discovered over time. At first glance, only a few figures emerge, but as your eyes slowly travel across the surface, many more hidden forms begin to reveal themselves. Each viewing offers a different discovery, turning the experience into an ongoing journey. More than an image to be viewed once, this artwork presents a quiet challenge: How many figures, faces, and living beings can you discover? Some will reveal themselves within the first few minutes, while others may only emerge after weeks of living with the piece. In this way, the drawing evolves with every observation, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with its viewer and continually revealing new details and connections over time. The artwork is shipped unframed, carefully rolled in a protective tube, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
