Fil Rouge #12 (2026)
Acrylic, colored pencils and embroidery on canvas
50 × 50 cm
Fil Rouge #12 belongs to a series dedicated to the symbol of the red thread of destiny, the ancient legend that two people destined to meet are bound by an invisible thread, capable of withstanding time, distance, and adversity.
In this work two hands clasp in a gesture that is essential and intense. The red thread, embroidered directly onto the canvas, traverses the fingers without imprisoning them: it unites them, making visible what would normally remain hidden. The embroidery is not a decorative element, but an integral part of the narrative, transforming an immaterial symbol into a concrete presence.
The composition, intentionally minimal, focuses attention on the dialogue between bodies and the meaning of the human bond. The delicacy of the skin tones contrasts with the chromatic force of red, creating a balance between fragility and permanence.

Fil Rouge #12 is part of a series inspired by the symbolism of the red thread of destiny—the ancient legend that two people who are meant to meet are connected by an invisible red thread, capable of withstanding time, distance, and adversity.
In this work, two hands clasp each other in a gesture that is both simple and deeply meaningful. The red thread, embroidered directly onto the canvas, winds across the fingers without restraining them; instead, it reveals the invisible bond that unites them. The embroidery is not merely decorative but an essential element of the composition, transforming an intangible symbol into a tangible presence.
The minimalist composition draws the viewer's attention to the dialogue between the two hands and the profound meaning of human connection. The softness of the skin tones contrasts with the vibrant intensity of the red thread, creating a delicate balance between fragility and permanence.
