About this artwork
What kind of living being would an old and sick tree want to become? A butterfly, a beautiful but fragile insect with a short life. I find the theme of metamorphosis interesting and disturbing: it is a current theme, some scientists just want to amaze with their experiments that lead to no use. Indeed, they reverse the course of Nature. This painting, saturated with signs and symbols, is not only to look at, but also to read and interpret.

« I paint a dream, a memory, or a transmuted thought that is identified with a chromatic-arboreal-climatic intertwining . »
Antonio Presti is an experienced painter and sculptor based in Italy whose works have been exhibited nationally and in the United States. After completing his artistic studies in 1975, he came into contact with the grandeur of nature in the mountains of Turin, which inspired him to create landscapes with a "revisited naturalism". Presti's "fairy tale and allegorical microcosms" are most often conveyed through the symbolic imagery of trees and fish.
