Loneliness

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The National Gallery of Modern Art (Rome, Italy).

The canvas depicts a half-naked female figure at the window, a sophisticated profile that stands out sharply against a plain, almost black background. It seems that the woman does not notice anything around directing her gaze into the infinite space of the Universe. Perhaps she froze in the metaphysical space, like a statue outlined by an abstract geometric background and resembling ordinary people only by her outer shell. The plot of the picture and its compositional construction indicate a connection between the artist’s work and neoclassicism, while the entirely different internal meaning of the work demonstrates its kinship with metaphysical art.
