Davide Nunziante - Nostos

My iconic giant matchstick, a symbol of the human being in the present, between what has already been and what is yet to come, this time also taking center stage as Ulysses, Penelope, and Telemachus. A tribute to the Odyssey and Greek mythology in this surreal family portrait.

Artwork created with traditional oil paints on cotton canvas.
Certificate of authenticity included.
Black open-pore wooden frame, American box frame, handmade in Italy (44.5 x 54.5 x 3.5 cm).
