The painting series dedicated to Pluto origins from the idea that the most significant knowledge of the planet is quite recent: its observation by NASA New Horizons dates back to 2015. According to the most recent observations, the planet's surface is iridescent, with a range of chromatic variations including black and white, considered the most significant chromatic diversity in the Solar System. The mysterious Pluto's aspect origins a series of explorative paintings, where the paper surface becomes an imaginative tool to describe the planet, aiming at revealing its several chromatic identities. The idea is to create a connection with the symbolic and morphological aspects of the planet: painting becomes a tool for an explorative process. The colours are made by using the pigments collected by the artist herself over time, which allow to create a balance between the chromatic results and the light refraction. An experimental technique developed by the artist's deep research allows the pigments to reverberate as much as possible, leaving the colour in its purest essence, according to the antique painting teaching.
