In Praise to Composure

Welcome. This work, which I have chosen to title 'In Praise of Poise', is my manifesto of correctness and honesty.

In an age of chaos and constant exposure, I wanted to celebrate the human soul's ability to shape itself and remain whole. The woman you see is the embodiment of this ideal: her posture is not rigidity, but a choice. Her attire, with its sharp contrast between the warmth of red and the severity of black, represents the boundary between inner passion and outward discipline.

I have transformed nature into sculpture to remind you that beauty is born from the pruning of the superfluous. Here, the human being and the landscape share the same destiny: both have been 'educated' toward a geometric perfection that renders them eternal and untouchable by time.

The profound meaning of this work is that poise is the ultimate form of freedom. To remain composed means to possess oneself, refusing to let the world dismantle us, and guarding one's mystery behind a gaze that observes everything without yielding anything. It is an invitation to rediscover one's own center of gravity—one's regal firmness—in the midst of a world that has lost its sense of measure.

Painted with high quality Italian colors on paper, With certificate of authenticity. Painted with semi-gloss transparent varnish to protect it from time and UV rays.
Fast and secure shipping with tracking in a wooden crate carefully packed with bubble wrap. For shipments outside the European Union and Switzerland, the shipment will be delayed by a few days for the recovery of customs certifications
