Shadows of Siena
The Watcher and The Witness
A set of two paintings
There is another side to Italy, beyond the sunlit piazzas, Renaissance beauty and romantic streets.
Wandering through the medieval heart of Siena, I found myself drawn to the faces that seemed to watch from the shadows — the strange, the grotesque, the mythical and the mysterious.
Medieval architecture is filled with creatures and characters that speak of a different world: one of folklore, superstition, mythology and the darker corners of the human imagination.
These two paintings emerged from those impressions. One, a fantastical gargoyle, the other, the weathered profile of a classical figure encountered in Piazza del Campo.
Together they explore the less romantic face of Italy — a little mysterious, a little theatrical, and perhaps just a little unsettling.
They are a reminder that beauty and darkness have always shared the same streets.
