Description by the artist

The realization technique consists in the glazing of all the necessary tiles, after having placed them as a single piece, we pass to the realization of the real painting, on the basis of a previously prepared sketch. The tiles are then fired for the vitrification of the glazes and colors. The painting can ‘be integrated into masonry kitchens, or glued, with specific glues, on a wooden support. The painting is framed by a series of tiles with typical Sicilian decorations.
