La Mattanza is a large oil painting rooted in the maritime memory of Sicily and the atmosphere of traditional tuna fishing. Sea, movement and human presence are absorbed into a broad chromatic field, turning the subject into an emotional rather than documentary narrative.

The generous format gives the composition a sweeping rhythm. Dense passages of oil paint and rapid gestures create a sense of tension, salt air and collective memory, while the image remains open enough for colour and matter to lead the experience.
