This work is based on an image that I had already redefined in certain details but was not entirely satisfied with. 

I am deeply drawn to the subject of primordial Chaos, and I was captivated when I discovered this image, which is located in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo, Lombardy, northern Italy.

What compelled me to rework it was that the original image felt extremely rigid. I sought to lighten it by subtracting certain elements.

Creation myths have always fascinated me, and this “being” was conceived by Lorenzo Lotto and inlaid by the craftsman Giovanni Francesco Capoferri.
