Signed in black ink on the back, on the top/right side, stamped with the Francisc Chiuariu Foundation Stamp.

This ample, powerful work is the first in the Vortex series; it holds the alluring tension between the clarity statement of its title and the hazy, tumultuous body of the work itself. A mysterious energy painted in abstract mode is pushing past the taut wire circular structure of the square; its blood-red lines cut through the flesh, leaving scars with each and every thrust upwards into the transcendent heights. A reflective visitor of this famous space, situated both in and outside Rome, the artist suggests that this can be our ground-zero, affording us both the terror of losing the solid ground from under our feet and the structure to hold on to and grow into complete beings.
