Description from the seller

Bodies, petals and fragments of color intertwine in a continuous movement that runs through the entire composition. Between deep greens, intense blues and pink accents, the scene appears suspended in a moment of transformation, where figure and space lose their boundaries and become part of the same flow.

Signed and dated 2026 at the bottom right
Image size: 70 x 90 cm
Overall canvas size: 80 x 100 cm
The work is sold unframed; it will be rolled and shipped in a cardboard tube.
The certificate of authenticity is issued exclusively upon request, in digital format.

Volta’s research moves along the track of a return—not nostalgic, but active. The Rococo is the starting point: that lightness of being, bodies that float, matter that becomes air. But the gesture with which this inheritance is traversed is unequivocally contemporary. Color does not illustrate, it breathes. The brushstroke does not describe, it vibrates. What remains of the past is the deep structure—a certain idea of the body, of space, of grace—while the surface is entirely present, entirely alive.
Volta does not quote, returns: his compositions seem to emerge from a shared cultural memory, brought to light with different eyes.
