In this fascinating portrait, Luciana Livi explores the concept of identity and disguise. The subject's lively, penetrating eyes, partially hidden beneath a mask, evoke a sense of mystery and introspection. The details of the clothing and the texture of the skin are rendered with incredible mastery, creating a connection between the observer and the hidden soul of the subject. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the role of masks in our daily lives and what might lie behind them.
Luciana Livi tries to focus those emotions that spring from the act of remembering. In his artworks, a sort of frame materializes which is of a locked and poetic form of memory, as when tryng to stop an emotion, to make it powerful as a fixed idea, making it capable of acquiring a kind of eternity.
