Marco Veronese

"New Era" gave name to the second exhibition of the Italian artist Marco Veronese in the Ana Serratosa Gallery. The intention of the show was to capture the inexorable passage of time by reminding us that we are human, that time passes. Symbol of this temporality are two of the elements present in most of the works that made it up: The butterfly and the skull. Using the butterflies, Marco Veronese made reference in this exhibition to the process of transformation, like that little silkworm that happens to become a beautiful butterfly. To this was added the presence of carpets, fruit of his recent residence in Turkey where the manufacture of the same has a thousand-year-old tradition. Veronese mixes both cultures in his work and uses the carpet as another support for his creations. It is about wool carpets, like the Turkish ones, in which their characteristic skulls appeared next to motifs and geometric patterns.
