What is not seen

Chiara Castorina

Mixed media on canvas, acrylic and material 80 cm x 80 cm

This artwork was created extemporaneously, as it arose from a momentary need to express a search for weightlessness; represented by the feather in the center of the painting.
However it is not able to surface, as it is overpowered by a boulder and a horizon, which together with the surrounding chaos represent everyday obstacles.
But the fundamental element is the strength the composition conveys in its entirety; through the duality of vulnerability and resistance, shows how even the most delicate elements can withstand unimaginable burdens, in spite of apparent fragility.
