The painting is part of the cycle “Le Sante Sospese”
(The Pending Sante)
A beautiful and opulent female figure, almost a mother goddess, basks in the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the sea water on her skin. At the same time, if the body does not shy away from the pleasure of its own nudity in contact with nature, the mind is concentrated and immersed in the acquisition of knowledge through reading a text, perhaps sacred, mystical, philosophical... Maybe? It is his path to spiritual evolution. A feminine St. Jerome, but without the need for the attributes of the saint himself, that is, apart from lion, old age, dryness and rigid pose. The woman, gracefully sitting on the sand, is caught in the moment of enlightenment, evidenced by the lighting up of a violet halo which, together with the rosary bearing the sacred syllable "OM", introduces her to Nirvana. S.B.
