The step

Goliardo Padova1975

Collezione Fondazione Cariparma

Collezione Fondazione Cariparma
Parma, Italy

The artwork illustrates a landscape with a dreamlike dimension: the nature is reinvented through brushstrokes soaked with matter; the thickness of the pastes is functional to the composition of tangled twigs and purple interlacing, which unfold along the space of the representation, creating a scene so ambiguous but with a strong visual impact. The artist uses oil colors, and he make them rich by working and spreading them. The consistent colors generate deformed and twisted figures, a symbol of the anguish and restlessness that torment the author's soul.
