I choose ths name because it embodies my own interpretation Of botanical painting and my passion for (XEROFITE). The fascinating genus plants , ilearned to love during my Botanical studies these amazing form of life, worongli defined “fat� are perfetcly adapted to live in climatically hostile places. Their ability to adapt is such that they are able to survive even In dry desert. Their way of life, based on the cautions use of natural Resources, should be a model for mankind that is compromissing the ecological balance of the planet with his Foolish waste of barely renevable resources. The botanical forms assumed by these plants during the evolution is the soul of my pictorial inspiration. TESTUDINARIA Olio su tavola trattata cm.110 x cm.60 Anno 2015
