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

The title means "Living line" in Italian and proposes a kind of mirrored counterpoint to the "still lifes" so often depicted in the History of painting.

There are no inanimate objects here, but rather more entangled lines that trace almost vegetal or organic cartographies. Each ink painting offers a different declension of this entanglement.

Acrylic inks (sepia, Sienna and yellow); palette knife; white 200 g technical paper (24x32 cm).
