This work is part of
the series "dentro e fuori dal nido" that I made in spring
2020 during the lockdown period. They are all works that bear a title
with references to physical and non-physical places/spaces.
The duty to be alone
and the enforced closeness was a big issue for me in the lockdown and
perhaps the biggest challenge. Working in the studio has always
grounded and calmed me. For the first time in my life I realised how
vital painting is for me. I was lucky, because suddenly this activity
has turned into a refuge for me. A place where I could be alone and
from which I could draw new strength and energy. It was also a very
valuable experience from a professional point of view.
