L’AIR<br />
The painting is an hommage to Ian Hamilton Finlay, Scottish<br />
sculptor, who has created a sculpture garden called ‘Little Sparta’.<br />
Both paintings L’Air and L’Eau depicts a sculpture of Aphrodite,<br />
the Greek goddess of Love, Beauty and Pleasure.<br />
I wanted the painting to resemble to a poem, the idea was to<br />
make it very simple and almost monochromic, like a marble<br />
sculpture.<br />
The text and the windflower are both symbolic, suggesting the<br />
absence of something, or the possibility of something not<br />
happening. And it leaves us in the desire and despair for something<br />
that may not happen. The painting is in this melancholic<br />
await for something afar.<br />
L’Air blows the possibility away, as the incomplete text describes..<br />
“... and _____ that _____ might never be ...”<br />
