DESCRIPTION

This artwork of mine was wanted by Caterina, a volcanic and energetic woman.

Caterina, together with her partner Marco and their daughter Frida, goes to dinner at a friend's house and sees one of my artworks on display with the comic book style that represents him.

Caterina loves the 60's MARVEL comics like me and she contacted me because she has been planning for a long time to create something unique that could represent a tribute

to the relationship between her partner and their daughter.

Marco loves IRON MAN comics and loves the Beatles and the song he is most attached to is

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds".

I find these "ideas" really stimulating and I try to imagine the two protagonists of the artwork immersed in one of the "still images", which I reproduce, of the video clip of the song

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds" included in the animated film "Yellow Submarine" that the Beatles produced in 1968.

Marco and Frida are there, forever, he with the IRON MAN armor,

she clinging to the "Yellow Submarine" as if it were a pool float,

and they understand each other both inside and outside the artwork as Caterina wanted, with whom, for tastes and affinities, I can say I have broken down an open door.
