METAPHOR n1 - acrylic painting by Roberto Tagliazucchi

This piece, created by Roberto Tagliazucchi in 1997, is a captivating example of abstract painting using mixed media on paper. The use of acrylics brings vibrancy to the dominant colors such as intense red and blue, which stand out against a background characterized by neutral tones and expressive brushstrokes.

The composition is dynamic, with straight lines and sharp edges creating a sense of movement and visual tension. The blocks of color appear to float and overlap, creating depth and visual interest through contrast and the interplay of shapes. Elements like the yellow circle and red spiral add an additional layer of meaning and mystery, inviting the viewer to interpret the possible symbolisms hidden behind these abstract choices.
