/Antonella Guidi
“The encounter with this flower with an elegant posture in a garden overlooking an avenue of plane trees, in Sardinia.
He called me in that way that only certain flowers use to do. I looked at him for a long time and I would have liked to portray him in all his magnificence, but in that moment a gust of wind hid him from the view behind a grate and from there he whispered to me in that gentle way: "You can paint me, but only with real simplicity" – Antonella Guidi
