In this case, desire is personified in the image of two lovers seeking each other in a longed-for, yet unfulfilled, kiss. The rose, a symbol of passionate love, looms over the two figures and bleeds.\u003cbr\u003e \nAs in a cruel game, human nature itself bleeds, in all its fragility, incapable of ceasing desire. The image of the two faces seems to emerge from a background that acquires dynamism in the interplay of black and gold squares. The large canvas (100 cm x 120 cm) is painted using oil on canvas. The work was selected for the Gran Premio San Babila, a group exhibition at Galleria San Babila, Milan (from 14\/06\/2024 to 30\/06\/2024).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vendere Quadri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56203535548802,"sku":"111131","price":1760.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/il_desiderio_2023_100x120_oliosutela.jpg?v=1768318732"},{"product_id":"nudo-di-spalle","title":"Nude from behind","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work depicts a woman seen from behind, wearing only a blue headband tied to hold back her hair. Her face, portrayed in profile, is cropped by the framing so as to reveal only the lower half. The pose references a classical ideal of beauty, rendered by the light that caresses the anatomical lines of the female body, in a \"soft\" atmosphere suspended in time, where a large pearl earring, peeking from her flowing hair, recalls images already present in Vermeer's 17th-century paintings. On the arch of her back, a tattoo inscribed \"What's art\" stands out, a provocative question for the viewer, prompting them to question what art is today. The large canvas (100 cm x 120 cm) is painted using oil on canvas. The work participated in the Gran Premio San Babila, a group exhibition at Galleria San Babila in Milan (from 14\/06\/2024 to 30\/06\/2024), and was published in the Catalogue THE STATE OF THE ART IN THE TIMES OF THE 60TH VENICE BIENNALE, edited by the historian and art critic Giorgio Gregorio Grasso – Official Catalogue of the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CULTURE.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vendere Quadri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56203535778178,"sku":"111132","price":1930.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/nudo_di_spalle_2024_100x120_oliosutela.jpg?v=1768318735"},{"product_id":"narciso","title":"Narcissus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work is an invitation to explore the themes of vanity and self-love. The painting depicts Narcissus's last breath, fading in his own reflection, in solitude. In the myth of Narcissus, a flower blooms on the banks of the pond after the protagonist's death, a sign of rebirth. In this version of the work, the flowers are cut and float on the water, emphasizing the abandonment and solitude that often characterize the existence of contemporary man, too caught up in the myth of self. The work has received critical acclaim, with a review in the ARTEXPO NEW YORK TOP SELECTION catalog: “NARCISO is a work of art that captivates with its simplicity and refinement. Without resorting to excess or emphasis, Francesca Mensitieri manages to convey a sense of contemplation and melancholy, inviting viewers to explore the themes of vanity and self-love through the protagonist's introspective gaze. The artist's painting technique is remarkable, with fluid and precise brushstrokes that delicately delineate the subject's contours. The tones used are soft and nuanced, creating an evocative and enveloping atmosphere. At the center of the composition is the figure of Narcissus, lost in the reflections of the surrounding water. The rendering of detail and the skillful use of color give the painting an emotional depth that invites viewers to reflect on the themes of beauty and ego. (Sandro Serradifalco, artistic director of the Effetto Arte Foundation).” The canvas, in fact, was exhibited in New York, at ARTEXPO from 04\/04\/2024 to 07\/04\/2024.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vendere Quadri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56203535974786,"sku":"111133","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/narciso_2024_80x80_oliosutela.jpg?v=1768318736"},{"product_id":"la-seduzione-del-tempo","title":"The seduction of time","description":"\u003cp\u003e The magic of seduction in this work is the gaze of a woman, lost in the mystery of passing time, rendered through a play of yellowing leaves, which like skeletons mark the impending change, inherent in the very nature of things.
