WOMAN WITH ORCHID

An explosion of colour and chlorophyll emerging from the head of an innately graceful female figure. The rich and impactful colour scheme evokes early-20th century Latin American paintings and is executed on a pictorial support that continues to endure over time, birch wood. The theme – related to the wild orchids of the Apulian Murgia – is portrayed by Gino Donvito, whose deep aesthetic sensibility is at least as strong as his love for his native land.
