About the Item

In our society where everything runs so fast, stopping to consume a painting forces us to stop and reflect on an idea or a problem and consequently helps us develop a capacity for self-reflection, and for reflecting on others and the world we live in. With his art, Matteo Merla strives for a type of slowing down of time, inviting you to take the time to really get to know yourself and the world around you - deeply.
