Original artwork description:

“Reminiscences” is a work that revalorizes the traditions of folk art through a subtle dialogue between memory, symbol, and contemporary expression. The artist explores the ancestral vein of traditional ornamentation, recovering motifs and visual rhythms that have crossed centuries in popular culture. These elements are reconfigured into a modern composition, where the decorative structure becomes a support for introspection and spiritual evocation.
The work breathes an archaic sensibility, yet it also surprises through the dynamism of its forms, the harmony of its colors, and the refinement of its textures. Every detail functions as a “trace” — an affective reminiscence of the traditional world, transposed into the present. In this way, “Reminiscences” does not merely cite folklore; it poetically reinterprets it, transforming it into a visual meditation on identity and cultural continuity.
The work thus becomes a space of active memory, where history and the present intertwine, and where the visual language acquires the qualities of a ritual of returning to one’s roots.
