Inspiration behind the work: Summer, the burning heat in a field of poppies and wheat, the impossible love of two creatures
Characteristics of the work: Orange, yellow and burnt red characterize the background, where majestic fire red poppies occupy the scene, the grain made of gold increases the sensation of warmth, in the middle of the scene, a small ant and a caterpillar meet "so our love has begun "
Comments of the artist: Dedicated to diversity, against all odds the real protagonists are an ant and a caterpillar looking for happiness in a field of poppies, the accentuated and alien colors to the painting reinforce the sense of little belonging to the usual canons The color code: Red for passion, gold for eternity, purple for the ant for the union of opposites and green for the caterpillar to testify to the hope of desire.

Art enriches life and its ultimate function is to make people happier.
