Dolce vita depicts a woman in white shorts leaning on a red Ford Mustang parked in front of mid-century houses and palm trees, ochre mountains in the background. The desert’s blinding light is rendered with broad orange flats and very sharp, dark shadows, typical of bright mid-day sun; the warm, saturated palette establishes a nostalgic atmosphere, close to the aesthetics of the 1960s-1970s.

Yann Argentin fully aligns with the current of contemporary figuration with this sense of great aesthetic finesse. The work bears witness to a remarkable compositional effort where mastery of nuances creates a captivating visual dialogue.

The expressive power of the whole and the subtlety of execution give this piece a remarkable presence. It is an ideal acquisition opportunity to enrich a discerning collection or to sublimate a modern interior.
