Panneggio

A series born when oil painting meets aerial silks, thus bringing together the contrast of motion and stillness. It this series sculptures of fabric, light and gravity are painted oil on canvas. The title comes from an ancient technique used by the old Italian masters to show their abilities in depicting fabrics and clothes with oil painting.

The first group of artworks explore the dialogue between body and fabric, the second is about playing with the fabric building sculptures to paint: here, all that is left of the body is a trace, a sensory memory.
