About this artwork

Painting in "Realism" style in a contemporary key with vivid colors, set near the Fountain of the Three Dolphins which offers the largest pool in the whole park of the Royal Palace of Caserta, taking its cue from its symbolic meaning, which aims to represent the element of water in all its power. Hence the artist's idea of recreating the emblem of magic and purification through it, also taking inspiration from Ophelia, interpreted similarly to the… Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais. The young woman, one of the protagonists of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy, fell into the river while weaving garlands of flowers, unable to understand the danger she was running: she let herself be lulled by the water singing sweet melodies, until she drowned.

« '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.
