AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Work executed in mixed media on paper.
It is an elegant female nude, in grays and pinks, framed with a matting with a border of another and glass.

I have learned from Cubism that the concern was to reach the essential truth of the object they wanted to represent. The object possessed an absolute form, an essential form and to discover it they suppressed chiaroscuro and traditional perspective.

I try to move within the action of continuing to reinvent cubism, giving it a contemporary air.
I regularly access parameters I consider recurrent, such as the constant assimilation of images from the past, the play with others’ language, focusing on ancient and modern painters.
I feel a constant sense of diving into the interior of history.

My study and research of the Cubist movement, especially the long and extensive trajectory of Picasso, leads me into unknown territories.

In each painting I try to review the problems and solutions that Picasso posed with Cubism.
Cubism, for me, is a very important pictorial movement within the history of art.
