The piece employs a distinctive technique, perhaps macro photography, that captures the intricate and otherworldly details of natural elements, such as leaves or plant structures. The artwork invites the viewer to explore the hidden beauty and complexity within the natural world, reflecting the artist's intention to reveal the unexpected wonders that can be found in the smallest of details. ...
Working in painting, installation, sound and performance, Jacopo Pagin creates art historically charged enigmas. The artist's paintings depict elongated objects and figures, misty in the soft colours and fluid movement of his composition. Inspired by nature and its psychological ramifications, Pagin blends night and day, reality and representation, illusion and decoration. Evoking traditions of Rococo and Neoclassicism, he continuously places the familiar imagery within unexpected, elegant tropes. The ephemeral colour palette of his paintings is inspired by Fata Morgana, an Italian folklore myth that the sea's horizon at dusk and dawn is the creation of witches. Magic, illusion and murano glass run through Pagin’s works, alluding to the role of painting in the concepts of time, history and perception.
