This painting will come to you stretched on a wooden stretcher and completely ready to be placed in the interior.About the artwork:"In 'White Cat' from my 'Madeleine' series, I delve into the theme of comfort and companionship that pets bring into our lives, symbolizing a serene presence that soothes the soul. This painting explores the emotional sanctuary provided by such relationships, where the quiet companionship of a pet can evoke deep-seated memories and a sense of peace. It reflects on how these interactions not only enrich our daily lives but also connect us to a deeper understanding of love and care. Through this work, I aim to highlight the gentle impact of pets in our personal histories, inviting viewers to appreciate the subtle yet profound ways they shape our emotional landscapes."Medeleine SeriesThe series of works “Madeleine" are the artist's reflections on the nature of time and memory, the ability of art to recreate the past and give it meaning.The series is a deeply autobiographical study, where the artist asks questions about the nature of false memories, the ability of memory to correctly store stories, the ability of things and people to influence the perception of memory.As in Proust's novel “In Search of Lost Time," where the taste of Madeleine becomes the key to the invisible rooms of the past, each painting by the artist is a gateway to personal memories that mix with fictitious images, evoking a feeling of either déjà vu or reality, a subtle but always vivid anticipation .In the Madeleine series, the artist reveals an abundance of emotions and experiences, and, like Proust, uses art as a means to recreate the past, giving it new meaning and new value. Each work is a dialogue between the present and the past, between the external world and the internal space of memory.
