This work belongs to the series that depicts and the beauty of Mediterranean women, vaunted by poets and artists over the centuries. An Odalisque with gentle and graceful movements and for this reason, sensual, is lying on cushions and looking towards the observer. The scene, which opens up in a nocturnal landscape, is framed by curtain draperies. The observer remains enchanted by the natural pose of the odalisque and by the atmosphere full of a subtle sense of gentle eroticism. Made with oil paints, the work is endowed with a strong chromatic impact and wants to be a tribute to the artist's teacher, Salvatore Fiume.
The work is signed by the artist.
1961 Pavia, Italy
Carlo Massimo Franchi (Pavia 1961) graduated at Brera Accademy, where he knew his Master Salvatore Fiume. His early works are strongly influenced by Fiume. The series called Mediterranean women is the best example: sensual women with soft curves, in Oriental atmospheres.
During the later period his style changes in a painting characterized by bright and flat colours. He realizes many works on commission and the series of Kaleidos, in which Cubist influences and the refined line of classical Greek art are mixed up.
He exhibits his works in many Italian and foreign cities (Milan, Turin, Palermo... San Francisco, Los ANgeles, Las Vegas...).
Now he lived and works in Novara.
