Frammenti flegrei

The painting depicts twenty visual fragments, twenty stories, which tell the Campi Flegrei between history and myth. A volcanic territory near the city of Naples bears witness to many episodes of Greek and Roman history. With unique places such as the island of Ischia, Lake Averno, the submerged city of Baia etc.
The three primary colors used metaphorically represent the three main elements present in the Campi Flegrei. The red of volcanic lava. The yellow of the tuff. The blue of the sea. the work is part of the Phlegrèus cycle.
The work consists of 20 paintings made with raw pigments joined with acrylic resin on an etching printed on cotton paper and glued on a white painted board.
