About the Item

Van.I.T is a unique drawing by contemporary artist Cécile Bisciglia. The drawing is made with ballpoint pen, acrylic and posca on canvas, dimensions are 150 × 150 cm (59.1 × 59.1 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. In pursuit of her philosophical goals, Bisciglia continues to experiment with the Vanity genre of art. The only means by which the artist conveys this memento mori is by using the skull as a symbol. To emphasize the symbolism of death, her drawings omit faded flowers, candles, or scientific objects. Bisciglia has dedicated herself to creating large-scale drawings with a BIC ball-point pen since 2009. The originality of her work comes from the fusion of her academic drawing abilities and her proficiency with a basic tool, a biro. A ballpoint pen gives her the same graphic finesse as a pencil would, and it has the added benefit of being indelible. Depending on the pressure and/or inclination used, her skill with this instrument enables her to obtain various shades of grey. Bisciglia fights a real battle with the painter's own medium, the canvas.
