dialogue Painting

I was impressed by a photo of the Italian actor Roberto Benigni in his specific enthusiastic way of talking to people. This is my tribute to him in a black and white frugal painting. The realism of the composition interested me only in specific areas. I have focused on the hands and gestures, since often the dialog is mainly visual because of hand moving. I wanted the enthusiasm of persuasions to be noticeable. The portraits are reduced at their presence only. The left character is concave, which is a sign that he receives all of the speaker's message. I wanted to show the airy atmosphere of the theme by painting everything in light gray tones. Which is light — optimistic, serene. This is the color of the message. The fact that he is painted horizontally creates his equilibrium, stability and comfort. The support is rigid, the painting is acrylic. A white frame would suit well. Or lighter shades of gray. The picture is unframed.
