The reading room - a photo on Flickriver

The reading room

            Oil on canvas, 50 x 60 cm, 2021.
In the reading rooms I wanted to represent a very simple idea, namely how much the content of a book can acquire reality for those who are reading it, becoming as present as the true reality. For this reason the rooms have a view towards the outside and the concrete world. Only by painting them, I realized that those windows are not an opening, the external landscape does not count at all, and the room is a refuge. The reader is somehow protected from the outside world as in a shelter, and his reality is only inside the book.

This original painting is available for sale at the price of 1150 US$, shipping is worldwide free. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work.
