Pietro Fight - SCHELETRO

Important note: for safety reasons and to reduce shipping costs, the canvas will be shipped rolled in a rigid tube (without a frame). The shipment will be trackable; once received, the work can be mounted in a frame by a framer. There is a margin of about 8 cm of unpainted canvas to facilitate framing. Unique and original work, signed on the back, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist (with a customized stamp).

Technique: acrylic painting & pencil

WORK

I decided to call this work “Skeleton” because it speaks of what I show outside and what I keep more protected inside.

The most visible part, built with black, red and white, for me is like a bark or armor: a stronger, more material surface that contains and protects. The black belongs to this external part, to what acts as a barrier. The red, instead, remains as vital energy, something alive that continues to flow beneath.

Inside the bubble at the top right I chose to leave the pencil part visible, without completing it with color. For me that area is the skeleton of the drawing, the origin of the work: a part more fragile, more sensitive, but not empty. I left only the red there as well, precisely because I feel it as blood, as inner life.

In this sense, “Skeleton” is the relationship between an external part that protects and an internal part that remains more exposed, yet still alive.

ARTIST

I am Pietro Fight, a visual artist based in Milan. My research is a “gesture writing”: signographic-calligraphic abstractions in which circular modules and nets of signs build rhythm, density and breath. I am interested in weight in space, the balance between fills and empties, between accumulation and suspension, between the intensity of the mark and zones of visual silence. This language emerged in 2020, during the Covid period, turning the boredom of repetitive daily routine into construction and variation. From that origin comes my signature “Corona,” a direct trace of that time (coronavirus): the artist name is Pietro Fight, while the signature on works is “Corona.” Even though the method is repetitive, every work remains unrepeatable, because every circle and every mark are always different.
