AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ninni Pagano was born in Catania. Always passionate about Wunderkammer and everything that nature offers in its beauty, this passion led him to study under master Antonio Sciacca, his teacher. It was in 2011 that his artistic career began, gradually gaining recognition and earning the respect of critics such as Aldo Albani, Roberta Filippi from the Orler gallery, Philippe Daverio, and Daniele Radini Tedeschi. In 2016, his name appeared in the prestigious American guide Guide Museums Galleries Artists. After participating in two contemporary art Triennials in Rome, with his works published in Mondadori catalogs, in 2020 his name was included in the prestigious Atlas of Contemporary Art by De Agostini.
The work of art is an oil on canvas, signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with the artist's logo, characteristics of the work, and the artist's signature at the bottom.
The colors of the painting may vary slightly from the photo due to camera and screen settings.
The artwork is carefully packed with bubble wrap and cardboard, and naturally shipped with a frame.


Ice and grit
The image shows a figurative painting of a
a woman wearing boxing gloves and an elaborate decorative neck covering.
The painting is characterized by rich colors and
Textured brushstrokes, typical of oil painting. She also wears a garment with a pattern.
Floral and fantastical in orange tones, of
yellow and blue.
The work focuses on the contrast between
Traditional clothing and equipment
modern sportswear
Therefore, Ninni Pagano interprets the contrast as if it were a magical seal that, through tradition, channels and protects the boxing glove that encloses the energy of the fist in order to meet modernity.
