Dome

subtitle

Borromini, Cappella Falconieri San Giovanni de' Fiorentini, Rome

Work description and interpretation
After only painting with red for a long time and after having realised that it was like painting the interior of my body and defining an interior and concave space, I decided to investigate another kind of space that had this type of connotation: the interior of architectural cupolas. These drawings are copies from life or pictorial and photographic reproductions of cupolas, holes, interiors and stairwells.
