Collection: Migrations

This series was developed in 2019 amidst the migration crisis unfolding in the Mediterranean seas. Being Italian and following closely the news, I felt particularly impacted by it. Each painting explores a condition related to migrations, and its consequences. Some paintings are interpretations of other artist's work, artists that I particularly admire.
