Deconstruction 2016 - The painting, full of painterly precision characteristic of the artist's works, leaves the viewer with a multitude of possible interpretations. The painting absorbs our attention, draws us into its current of events, philosophical and historical considerations. The artist himself believes that painting does not necessarily need to be understood. Sometimes it is better to feel it.
