Pietro Ciliento - Alì - "Vola come una farfalla, pungi come un'ape"
Ali - "Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
Portrait of the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, in one of his iconic photographic poses.
Two levels are represented in the painting: the clenched fist and the boxer in the background. The attention is all concentrated on the hand, made in hyperrealistic style to enhance and best represent all the smallest details.
About 300 hours were spent on the creation of this painting: graphite and charcoal on paper, 70x100cm.
Selected among the best works at the Festival of Hyperrealism and Figurative Art in Civitavecchia (Rome); exhibited at the Cittadella della Musica in Civitavecchia in 2018.
