Casa con Chiesa
About this artwork
This large house with the adjoining church has always aroused my imagination due to its staggered roofs, says artist Simone Giaiacopi. One morning the building was hit by a ray of sunshine prompting a painting response in me. While at first the painting may look photographic, in reality small brushstrokes punctuate its surface. This piece belongs to Simone's ongoing series of abandoned houses that represent the long gone Tuscan rural life. With these paintings, Simone tries to capture a heritage while it is fading away.
