The flat brushstrokes and acid hues featured in this mixed-media painting on canvas depict a scene where a man sleeps relaxed on the lap of a woman, her gaze at once calm and worried. Stylized plants and flowers in the background symbolize dynamism and vitality, counterbalanced by the still pose of the woman in a black dress that delivers a sense of seduction and strength.

Poetic fusion of space and matter, fluid manifestation of metal. An encounter that generates visual and tactile affinities that echo the creativity of craftsmanship
Established in 2003, De Castelli is an internationally well recognised company built on many years of experience and passion for metal – in particular steel, brass and copper – applying it in design, covering and architectural projects.
Faithful to its decision to reinstate the special role of metal in design and experimentation, De Castelli infuses artisan ideas and workmanship into industrial processes, leading to entirely original results. The encounter with design inspires an approach to materials founded upon respect for their potential, be it hidden or obvious, which emerges slowly in objects that are unique. Unique not only for the hand that has created them, but also for the singular cultural path that focuses on the aesthetic (and not just practical) value of the primordial material with which De Castelli shapes living spaces.
Bending metal to the characteristics of spaces, modelling it on the basis of client suggestions and needs, interpreting its most hidden soul is the natural predisposition of De Castelli as well as its DNA. Advanced technology, creativity, experimental research, design culture and manual ability are the constants of a company that has achieved a deep knowledge of the material and love to grasp its expressive possibilities. These are expressed in the design support service, in the problem-solving ability, in the openness to the contamination of ideas and visions, as well as in the meticulous attention to detail and the manual execution of all finishing operations.
The cultural vocation of De Castelli encourages participation in various cultural and social initiatives and projects, demonstrating the company's dedication to consolidating its ties to the territory and the community that inhabits it in a continuous dialogue among places, art, people and architectural design.
