Product Description

At first glance, Plenilunio dalle Persiane (Full Moon through the Shutters) might seem like a purely geometric composition. However, the title completely changes its interpretation: the bands become the slats of a shutter and the bright disk transforms into the moon.

Balistreri uses chiaroscuro to give the bands an almost three-dimensional depth. The work thus remains suspended between Optical Art and the memory of a simple domestic experience.

Its vertical format and controlled palette make it particularly suitable for minimalist interiors, where the perceptual component can clearly emerge.

Use and care

Protect from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources. Clean the frame only.

The charm of handmade

The chromatic transitions that produce the three-dimensional illusion are painted. The signature, title, and date are also documented on the artwork itself.
