About this artwork

"Flame" immediately stands out for its irregular shape, which breaks the boundaries of the traditional canvas to take on an organic and lively, almost sculptural form. The very structure of the support seems to follow the flow of fire, suggesting an ascending energy that spreads through space. From a chromatic point of view, the painting is structured around warm and bright tones: golden yellow and orange burn at the center of the composition, contrasting with the black and dark brown of the background, evoking the darkness of the shadows that the fire tears apart and disperses. The white, through curvilinear signs and thin lines, seems to define the movement of the flames, like tongues of fire that dance and rise with impetus. The composition is a mix of gestures and matter: splashes and sinuous lines, scratches and drips make the sybolic fire a dynamic and vibrant presence. The use of color and texture suggests a primordial energy, a force that expands, transforming and illuminating. "Flame" is more than a simple representation of fire power: it is a symbol of transformation, of renewal, of fighting against darkness. The work is not static, but in continuous movement, as if the fire were alive, ready to consume the past to make room for a new light. An intense and meaningful work, capable of evoking both the destructive heat and the creative power of flames.
