Executed on canvas, the work begins with a light ground covered by a deep black layer, which is then incised directly by the artist, revealing underlying tones through a process that merges painting and engraving.

The composition is defined by sharp white lines and vibrant red accents that break through the dark surface, generating rhythm, contrast, and depth. The scratched marks convey a raw and instinctive energy, transforming the surface into a dynamic field of tension between control and spontaneity.

Signed and titled on the reverse, the artwork is presented in a gilded wooden frame with silver leaf and a subtle Mecca patina, enhancing its refined and contemporary presence.

This original artwork is ideal for contemporary interiors and collectors seeking Italian contemporary art with strong material character and expressive impact.
