Pompeii dialogue, 2018 – 2019

Pompeii dialogue is based on my strange love for Roman art. At Villa Lante. I have taken black-and-white photographs of Pompeii paintings from the Pompeii Encyclopaedia. On those black-and-white pigment prints I have painted with colours my own contemporary commentaries. The dilapidated wall, its every crack and mark, transport me away to a space-like adventure. The two-millennia old paintings shape my consciousness, taking me from here towards another world and so the Pompeii dialogue begins. As I work on my computer, with the super speed of time travel, the rapidness of modern technology meets with the slowness of my brush being as addictive as anything HBO or Netflix can offer.
