About the Item
Face II (Aquiles) is a large format work that is part of the classical series, continuing its exploration of the iconic figures of mythology. In this Rostro II, the protagonist is Achilles, the legendary Greek hero. Inspired by the famous classical sculpture, the artist reinterprets the image of Achilles with a new "skin" of color, giving him a contemporary and timeless presence.
The composition of the face stands out for its treatment in warm tones, where yellows and golden ochers dominate the surface of his skin. Tones that evoke the warmth of the Greek sun and the intensity of Achilles' character. Through a careful play of light and shadow, a sensation of volume and depth is achieved, giving the portrait a palpable vitality.
An underlying layer of blue spots subtly emerges, perhaps symbolizing Achilles' indomitable spirit and inner struggles, and adds an emotional and symbolic dimension to the portrait.
