Description of the artwork

In Classica, Eugenio Franzò presents an intense figurative dualism. Two female figures, mirror images of each other, emerge from a vibrant golden background, defining a space where paint merges with fragments of everyday reality.

The artwork is characterized by a strong material component: the use of collage, with newspaper clippings and corrugated cardboard inserts, transforms the protagonists' bodies into a living archive of words and signs. The figure in the foreground, luminous and statuesque, interacts with its smaller, more distant counterpart, suggesting a hierarchy of thought or a projection of consciousness.

Carmine red and burnt earth tones dominate the palette, outlining the figures and imbuing the artwork with a warm, visceral emotional charge. The sulfur-yellow background is not merely a physical boundary, but a metaphysical light that envelops the silhouettes, stripping them of a precise temporal context and elevating them to universal symbols.

The artwork explores the theme of self-perception: the figures are not simple portraits, but represent the different layers of the self. Through the transparency of the acrylics and the density of the paint, Franzò invites us to reflect on how our identity is a mosaic of external influences and inner impulses.
