‘Oil Wrestlers’ exhibited at the Chianciano Biennale
I’m excited to share that my painting Oil Wrestlers was recently exhibited at the Chianciano Biennale in Italy, which took place from August 3rd to 18th. It was an incredible experience to have my work showcased among such talented international artists at this prestigious event.
Oil Wrestlers is a piece that delves into the strength and intensity of this traditional sport. The male’s skin glistening caused by oil an sweat inspired me as well as the strength emanated in the physical fight of this sport. The real challenge in painting has been to render the wrestlers’ translucent skin starting from a very dark color base. The painting is inspired b Thomas Wyness’s photo.
Having it displayed in Italy was a true highlight, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.
Thanks to everyone who visited the exhibition and supported my work!
