Ersilia

The person depicted in the portrait is my aunt, Ersilia. I wanted to go beyond the memory I had of her, an old lady of 90 years. I did fantasies about her life. As child, she has been the delight of his parents. At 20 he was a very beautiful woman, who has experienced love. He had a working life. Then came the period of old age, the decline. These are the normal stages of a normal life. When we see an older person, usually we do not think about all this since we are conditioned from the current appearance. The elderly person brings inside these things he's definitely more than the old shell that represents it.
