Original artwork description:
VARIANT ON CLEOPATRA - canvas 90x79,5.
The painting draws inspiration from the famous painting by Guido Cagnacci, Italian painter (1601 - 1663).
THE DEATH OF CLEOPATRA of 1660. she committed suicide with the poison of an asp to escape the shame of being transferred to Rome as a prisoner of war. Drowsy numbness and fainting of the senses. Action full of eroticism and emotionally engaging sensuality absolutely unique.
Eros and Thanatos, life drive and death drive. I continue my theme in dialogue with the old masters and mass culture. Combining Pop strategies and suggestions with the art of the past. A bridge between the ancient and the contemporary, inspired by referents inspired by the history of art, to propose new meanings to be returned to the viewer.
Materials used:
enamel and varnish on canvas
