This work belongs to the series, that focuses on the Mediterranean and the meeting between the West and the East. Here the artist has made two portraits of Tuareg, the traditionally nomadic Berber people, settled along the Sahara desert, with their typical veils to cover the whole face. They are very charming and mysterious characters, representatives of the oriental world,with which Franchi often compares. The work made with oil paints, is equipped with a strong chromatic impact.
The work is signed in the lower right corner.
1961 Pavia, Italy
Carlo Massimo Franchi (Pavia 1961) graduated at Brera Accademy, where he knew his Master Salvatore Fiume. His early works are strongly influenced by Fiume. The series called Mediterranean women is the best example: sensual women with soft curves, in Oriental atmospheres.
During the later period his style changes in a painting characterized by bright and flat colours. He realizes many works on commission and the series of Kaleidos, in which Cubist influences and the refined line of classical Greek art are mixed up.
He exhibits his works in many Italian and foreign cities (Milan, Turin, Palermo... San Francisco, Los ANgeles, Las Vegas...).
Now he lived and works in Novara.
