Inspired by the vivid hues of frescoes and the weathered surfaces of ancient sculptures, I use colour, texture, and gesture, to create contemporary reinterpretations of historical Renaissance artworks. In doing this, I hope to unearth a deeper connection to my Italian roots, engage viewers on both, visceral and intellectual levels, as well as, provoke audiences to contemplate ubiquitous psychological themes. This particular piece was inspired by Michelangelo’s “Crouching Boy” c.1530-1534.
