About This Work
In *Sanna Out Of Eden The Agony And The*, Pietro stages a psychologically charged image that reads as both contemporary allegory and art-historical echo. Working with a refined, layered surface—where precise drawing meets painterly abrasion—the artist builds a tension between seduction and rupture, allowing light, flesh and shadow to carry the narrative as much as the figure itself. The title’s Edenic reference reframes the subject as an emblem of exile and self-determination, engaging current debates around agency, desire and the politics of representation.

The result is a resonant contemporary figurative artwork, at once intimate and culturally expansive.
