Water Snakes

Painted by using various techniques, from watercolour to tempera, to using gold leaf on parchment. The composition proposes stretched figures in slender shapes typical of the Jugendstil, but its central motif is the bombastic decoration of the golden period, played in the abstract yet allusive illustration of the embrace and the mosaic of open almonds.
