BIOPHILIA
Oil on linen 105 x 180 cm
Biophilia means love of nature, and Marino captured it perfectly in this portrait. In its simplicity, the painting conveys a great positive energy. It's sunny and lively. It portrays a simple and sincere face, turned toward an enchanting butterfly and, at the same time, toward the light.
Yes, because the artist's message is clear: light lies in simple eyes focused on small things. The butterfly is a seemingly small element in the painting, yet it constitutes its heart. The model's gaze is at the same height as the butterfly, emphasizing that love never elevates itself with a sense of superiority, but rather considers every living being on its own level. The artist wants to express how man should never feel superior to nature, but rather should respect it, feeling at one with it.
The work was created horizontally and measures one hundred and eighty centimeters in length, following a straight line that starts from man, passes through love and arrives at life, catapulting the viewer on a journey of enchanting purity.
Furthermore, beyond its artistic beauty, the painting also displays a remarkable level of technical skill, displayed in meticulous and precise detail. It's extraordinary to observe the individual strands of hair or the porosity of the girl's skin.
