Fazzoletto con Aquilone (Handkerchief with Kite) is an original painting by Matteo Balistreri from 2010. A trompe-l’œil painted valance frames a handkerchief suspended by two clothespins, inside which a small red kite appears: an image built on the boundary between everyday object and representation.

Product Description

Balistreri creates a painting within a painting. The white handkerchief becomes a second surface upon which the kite comes to life, while the lace painted in the upper part accentuates the ambiguity between what is real and what is represented.

The two clothespins introduce a familiar, everyday detail, but the small kite transforms the scene into something more suspended and imaginative.

The vertical format is well-suited for a small wall, above a piece of furniture, or as part of a series of works by Balistreri.

Use and care

Protect from direct sun, humidity, and heat sources. Clean only the frame; do not touch the surface.

The charm of handmade

The precision of the trompe-l'œil coexists with an original pictorial construction and materials applied directly to the work, creating a surface that cannot be reduced to just the image.
