Original artwork description:

"A tempo di tango" by Assunta Cassa is a poetic and symbolic painting that explores the relationship between dance and the passage of time. At the heart of the composition, a tango couple is caught mid-step, enclosed within the circular frame of a clock. Their passionate embrace unfolds in a space where time is both measured and transcended.

The rhythm of tango becomes a metaphor for life — structured, intimate, fleeting. Each tanda, each step, holds intensity and presence, a reminder to live the moment fully, knowing it is destined to end. The bold contrast between the black suit and red dress emphasizes emotional tension, while the fragmented, pixel-inspired style nods to the fusion of classical expression and digital language that characterizes Cassa’s unique vision.
