Marcello Arletti, The Stars Always Make Me Dream, acrylic on aluminum, 50x50 cm

Unique work by Marcello Arletti: painted on laminated metal built by superimposing a series of glazes with transparent pigments on polished aluminum mounted on board. The idea of seeing the color in transparency, thanks to the light ray mirrored by the metal placed behind the pigment, amplifies its visibility and chromatic liveliness.

More than the value of the details to Marcello Arletti affects the whole of the figure, he prefers to build the image while maintaining freshness by superimposing spots, halos and veils of transparent pigment, using the sotrattiva synthesis, on the ambient light reflected by aluminium.

The letters, the silver and white shades, compose the phrase: The stars always make me dream. Arletti here uses a special paint that absorbs light during the day and releases it at night, creating an unprecedented fluorescent effect.

Unique artwork signed on the back.
