Line(a) viva is a series of acrylic ink paintings on paper.

The title means "Living line" in Italian and proposes a kind of mirror counterpoint to the "still lives" presented so many times in the History of painting.

There are no inanimate objects here, but rather more entangled lines that draw quasi-vegetal or organic cartographies. Each ink painting presents a different declension of this entanglement.

Acrylic inks (sepia, Sienna and yellow); palette knife; white technical paper (24x32cm, 200g).
