The Legend of Gavia

Mixed media on wood, 110 × 110 cm, 2023

A presence suspended between history and memory, where legend dissolves into inner experience.

Two figures emerge as veiled echoes, held within layered textures and softened tones, as if time itself had blurred their boundaries. Beneath them, the structure of the Forte di Gavi appears not as a place, but as a foundation of emotional resonance — a landscape transformed into memory.

The work explores love beyond condition, where separation, exile, and choice reshape both identity and destiny. The two presences do not meet, yet they reflect one another, suggesting a silent continuity that persists beyond time.

In The Legend of Gavia, narrative becomes atmosphere, and history is no longer told — it is felt.
