"I want to create a real dialogue between the old and the new, between the architecture and my paintings. My works respond to the strong presence of painting in the palace, and especially to one of its treasures – a nude fresco created by Giorgione. For years I worked in the studio observing the naked body, striving to understand the movement of the line in depth. In Palazzo Grimanni, in every corner you encounter line and color, architecture and painting that connect to each other and complement each other."
