About this artwork

Painting in figurative expressionist style with references to Fauvism, aimed at the world of the fantastic and with a strong symbolic value. The rich and full-bodied pictorial material structures the entire work where the self-portrait of the author on horseback stands out, being noble and intelligent, fascinating and full of sensuality, surrounded by an eagle and a dragon, from whose tail, according to the Japanese tradition, the sword that the… artist is brandishing has been extracted. Archetype of strength and justice, the sword in turn, in Chinese culture, when it falls into the river it transforms itself into a shining dragon or, by sticking into the earth, it originates sources of water. From here draws the eagle which, in its soaring to heights impossible for man, becomes a symbol of any upward movement, from earth to heaven, connecting the material world to the spiritual world, from death to life.

« 'Beauty will save the world' by Dostoevsky is a symbolic phrase for me because of the therapeutic, magical, and mysterious content inherent in the logic of art. »

Paola Imposimato is an award-winning painter and draftsman whose works have been extensively exhibited throughout her native Italy, as well as in Austria and France. She defines her artistic style as "contemporary Renaissance", as it has a solid figurative base that is also structured on Greco-Roman art. Imposimato is often inspired by portraiture (of real and imaginary characters), the range of human emotions, poetry, historical re-enactments, the world of music and theater.
