DESCRIPTION With this painting, Montanari exalts the silent architect that is time. It flows like a fine dust over things, changing them, smoothing them, and finally swallowing them in a slow, merciless embrace. The decay reveals the work of this ruthless architect. Time does not destroy beauty but transforms it. True greatness lies not in the eternity of form, but in the eternity of cycle, and we, little visitors to this stage of decay and rebirth, learn that ruin is not the end. With this painting entitled "Ruins" the artist wants to give voice to this silent and implacable companion that is time.
