About this artwork
The sixth in the Mask Series, "Trattenere" is a powerful and intimate contemporary reinterpretation that visually engages with Renaissance classicism. Trattenere explores the invisible weight of the past: the figure holds the skeleton of a creature in her arms, a symbol of pain, trauma, or loss that is hard to let go of.
The work is dedicated to anyone who finds themselves trapped in a moment of their life, suspended in the memory of what is no… longer there. More than a testimony of suffering, this canvas aims to be a profound blessing, a spiritual and visceral exhortation to release that suffocating grip and allow the soul to finally breathe and live again.
Note on materials:
The work is made with high-quality automotive acrylic paints, recycled for eco-friendliness, which guarantee resistance over time.
The canvas is shipped in a tube, unless specifically requested.

I paint the monsters of life, and celebrate the Rebirth.
In the words of the experts, I would say:
Marco Marroccu champions a visceral aesthetic, where the canvas becomes the existential battlefield for the eternal conflict between the shadows of reality and the catharsis of rebirth, elevating pain to a prelude to a luminous spiritual palingenesis.
...and I could do that too, if you want.
But I paint monsters and I don't want to soften them: I just want them to stay there, nice and still on the canvas, so that the rebirth can take place.
I tell the story of bruised women who choose freedom; I tell the story of tenacious recovery after illness, after loss; of the child who faces bullies, depression, hunger, fathers deprived of their children: I tell the story of life's monsters, and of rebirth.
If you've ever fought a monster, if you've ever sought a Rebirth, then you know: my works tell of you.
Italian, of Sardinian origin, 1973, self-taught, confident and stubborn lover of life.
