Pause.
A peeling wooden door serves as the backdrop for an abandoned jacket. The soft fabric creates deep folds and converses with the rigidity of the worn surface. The opaque glass of the door reflects delicate shadows.
Material contrast governs the work. The brushstrokes reproduce with absolute precision the heaviness of the cloth and the fragility of the lifted paint. Observing the canvas, one senses a human presence that has just departed. The artist transforms an everyday gesture into a monumental image.
The visual equilibrium transmits a profound calm. The oil painting captures the warmth of a garment left to rest. It is a silent scene, dense with expectation and peace.

"Objects retain the shape of those who wore them. An abandoned jacket is the echo of a human presence."
Sandro Bastioli
