Maternity
by Franco Volpi
Description
A baby gently abandoned in its mother's tender embrace, its sleep is serene and trusting, its awakening will be joyful. An intense, bewitching portrait, an intimate dialogue between mother and child, the triumph and sublimation of the feeling of love in a slow, sinuous dance paired with the beauty of the moment, the values conveyed and the flow of emotions that emerge with strength and lyricism in a painting made up of solid volumes, decisive shapes and vibrant colours.
As spectators we can "feel" and experience this embrace, the mother's eyes invite us to observe this moment with equal tenderness and joyfulness. The painting becomes poetry, a poetry interpreted through an almost instinctive painting, always delicate in tone, whispered but with all the strength and lucidity of a highly inspired artist.
