signed and dated lower right '84 P. Conti
Among the most extraordinary nudes of his recent period, this female figure, still lazily wrapped in the dreamy dimension of nocturnal life, acts as a counterpoint, with its horizontal position, to the verticality of the heraldic figures, evoking the image of a universe suspended between action and contemplation in a virtual space that resolves every creative impulse. The deep, ethereal shade of blue chosen for the composition radiates, as if through a nebulous filter, creating a counterpoint within the work.
