LA STORIA CONTINUA

Description

Title “LA STORIA CONTINUA”

Contemporary art work, mixed technique on canvas, 50×50 cm, INCH: 19,6×19,6″, Siviglia 2019

A typical Cubist style painting for Siviglia, which represents a battle on horseback with soldiers or rather knights of the Middle Ages. A combat between western and middle east warriors.

A work reminding us of “Mori contro Cristiani”, another painting by Siviglia on the same topic, however, much larger.

In fact the title “La Storia Continua” – History continues – also refers to the fact that the artist takes up this subject again. Only here the battle takes place on a much smaller canvas, so many details and intertwined figures, an energy and a crazy dynamic, all on just 50x50cm of canvas.

Obviously the title suggests another fact, although we see an action with characters of the Middle Ages, we understand its reference to the present. It seems that the struggle between countries, between religions and ideologies, between nations and ethnic groups, in short between humans never ends …
