Apollo e Marsia Painting

Apollo e Marsia painting presents a large-scale contemporary reinterpretation of a 17th-century work by Ribera, depicting the mythological punishment of Marsia by Apollo. The piece uses layered paper affixed to canvas, enhanced with calcographic press motifs, alcohol colors, and pigments. The technique highlights charcoal sketches and explores a balance between form and sign, capturing a lost memory through archetypal human and vegetal shapes. The painting features marble powder, wax, and pigment fused by flame application for a textured finish.
