Description from the seller

Echo of Frida
In a room of bleached light, she sits as a monument to memory. Her skin is a calm shore, while her robes surge like a turquoise tide, thick with the weight of oil and grit. Beside her, a parrot perches—a green flicker of jungle secrets—whispering of a life once lived in vivid thorns. She does not speak; she is the quiet after the storm, a painted ghost blooming forever in the garden of the mind.

* 100% hand-painted acrylic on canvas
* Signed on the back
* Stretched on wood and ready to hang

About the Artist:

Pippo (born in Monza) creates works that navigate the quiet terrain between geometric abstraction and surrealism. Leaving behind a successful career in graphic design to devote himself entirely to painting, he settled near the calm shores of Lake Maggiore. His background is evident in his compositions—architectural, balanced, and precise—yet they are softened by a cinematic atmosphere that feels like a memory or a dream.

For Pippo, art is an immersive act. He engages with his subjects by writing narratives in the first-person present tense, mentally stepping into the canvas to experience the moment from within. However, while he enters these worlds personally, he leaves the physical canvas open to interpretation. His figures, though elegantly attired, are frequently faceless. This anonymity is an invitation: it ensures the protagonist "can be anyone," allowing the viewer to step into the scene and inhabit the story themselves.

This boundary between the seen and the unseen defines the artist as well. Reserved and introspective, he writes privately and prefers his canvases to speak. He maintains no digital footprint, avoiding social media to preserve the same sense of mystery found in his work.

Using a palette of subtle, atmospheric tones punctuated by decisive color, Pippo refines a language of elegant economy. His paintings—filled with silent animals, sharp shadows, and glowing light—are not just images, but open-ended stories of longing and grace.
