This work is part of the “Last Summer” series, which reflects on memory and the value of fleeting moments. The figure is inspired by classical sculptural representations of the male body, combining physical beauty with intellectual presence.
The reading figure refers to a time when education and knowledge were considered a true luxury and a source of admiration. The work echoes the classical ideal of harmony between body and mind — “a sound mind in a beautiful body.”
The limited palette of turquoise and red creates a negative-like atmosphere, reinforcing the nostalgic and memory-driven character of the series.
