Painting in which I created an imaginary portrait of the Italian painter Bernardino di Betto Betti (1452–1513), better known as “Pinturicchio” (“little painter”), a nickname that seems to have derived from his small stature and which he himself used to sign some of his works. He was an artist who excelled in the art of panel painting, frescoes, and miniatures, working for some of the most important figures of his time. I created this work with vibrant passion, blending the tradition of fine art with a modern emotional perspective. Oil as a medium allowed me to shape refined details and warm tones that bring the important figure to life, evoking stories from the past and present. In his gaze, I encapsulate humanity expressed through time, a bridge between eras that will live on in the walls of your home, infusing it with an energy rich in history and palpable emotion.
