Description
In Monte Prado, Marta Tessaroli transforms the imposing verticality of the mountain with the same name into an image, proposing a visual reinterpretation that restores the monumentality of the Alpine landscape. The work, 160 centimeters tall, establishes an almost physical dialogue with the observer, evoking the mountain’s grandeur and the sensation of the journey toward the summit.
The composition, developed in a vertical format, emphasizes the mountain’s momentum through essential lines that follow the rock’s veins, capturing its geological stratification and material solidity. Although only a glimpse of the mountain is visible, its full grandeur is perceived.
Monte Prado connects to the artist’s biographical experience: Tessaroli gives shape to a mindscape, a mental landscape in which interiority and experience merge, making the Alpine peaks a visual projection of the artist’s identity.
