About this artwork
Painted live in a week at Macro Museum of Rome Italy.
The subject of the work, in the middle of a beautiful and luminous piazza Navona, is a military garrison. We see today deployed in our big cities, soldiers armed with large guns and I wonder if it is normal. If it is normal that we have become accustomed to this strident presence in places of beauty and lightheartedness. Even the tourist photographs the soldier instead of the square.

« The paintings seem to aim for realism, but upon closer look we notice every deviation marked by the sharp contrast from one element to another. »
Marco Barberio is an established Italian painter who has exhibited his work internationally, including in Spain, Australia and the UK. Having cultivated a firm passion for art and creativity from a young age, he has worked as an art director as well as in web development and entrepreneurship alongside his artistic practice. Barberio's paintings primarily balance the dualism of realist forms and conceptual symbols, a style he describes as 'sampled realism.' His works ultimately offer each viewer the opportunity to contemplate the metaphors present in modern digital life, layering colors and curves to raise questions about loss, knowledge and reality.
