Madonna delle Stelle
A devotional figure, lit like starlight on stone.
Madonna delle Stelle — "Madonna of the Stars" — takes the pose and gravity of a classical devotional icon and pushes the palette somewhere colder and stranger: skin rendered in the blue of night, wrapped in a mantle of burning orange, a faint halo of light bleeding into the dark behind her.
It's a more astral reading of the Virgin — the raised hand and the hand at the chest tracing a single line between the heart and the sky, the connection between the body and the universe, rather than a conventional devotional gesture.
Madonna delle Stelle
A blue-skinned Madonna against a glowing dark ground, wrapped in orange drapery, one hand raised, the other holding a blade to her chest.
Honoring classical technique, preserving its vitality within a modern context.
