Description of the artwork

In The World as I See It, or Unfinished No. 13, Ivano Petrucci explores beauty and human identity through a female portrait that emerges delicately from an abstract explosion of color. The face, rendered with almost classical precision and warm tones, becomes the focal point of a composition in which traditional aesthetic canons are challenged and enriched by a modern, vibrant painterly gesture.

The artist surrounds the subject with a complex architecture of marks and fields of color, ranging from deep blues and bright reds to touches of green and yellow, which seem to float around the figure like fragments of thought or emotional projections. This juxtaposition of figurative realism and material abstraction creates a visual tension that invites introspection: the woman's thoughtful, self-aware gaze seems to look beyond the viewer, toward a dimension of inner exploration.

The artwork addresses the theme of self-perception in a fragmented world: the bold brushstrokes and layers of color do not conceal the face but enhance it, suggesting that the true human essence lies in the harmony between one's own form and the vital chaos that surrounds us.
