Schiavo Dell’ombra 2017

"Schiavo Dell’ombra" (2017) by Roberto Ferri (b. 1978) is a captivating oil painting that depicts a nude male figure bound to a complex, almost scientific apparatus. The figure's relaxed pose and the elaborate machinery create a stark contrast, suggesting themes of human vulnerability and the power of technology. Ferri's masterful use of light and shadow, particularly on the figure's body, emphasizes the beauty and fragility of the human form. The painting's enigmatic imagery invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the forces that shape our lives.
