Original artwork description:

Sinopia is a term that refers to a reddish pigment used in the past and also to the underlayer drawing of frescoes, also realised with that pigment. This painting is “unfinished” on purpose, leaving some pink background areas where the graphite drawing can be hinted. The composition of this enigmatic portrait, with the dead pheasant carried on the protagonist’s shoulder, is made to inspire questions and to suggest alternative meanings in the spectator’s head.

Oil on canvas, ready to hang.

Materials used:

Canvas, oil colours, acrylics
