From the Catalogue
“a undertaking deeply marked by his life expertise between two worlds: Central Europe —Germanic, rational, somber— and the mediterranean —brilliant, exuberant, emotional—.
Taking as a place to begin the frescoes of the backyard of the Villa di Livia, preserved within the Palazzo Massimo, Ydáñez reinterprets this idylic pure setting from an intimate and poetic perspective, past the merely archeological or ornamental. The piece is the primary of a triptych and presents a reinvented backyard, the place the Mediterranean vegetation is populated with birds that don’t belong to the classical Roman repertoire, however to the non-public imaginary of the artist: The first birds he drew in his childhood, in his eagerness to categorise them with a curious and non-artistic gaze, resurface right here as a logo of reminiscence, of origin, of purity.
In the center of the foliage, a blonde, melancholy feminine determine is inserted into the scene as a presence that evokes the lack of innocence. This determine, symbolically linked to the collective European trauma – the Second World War, genocide, racism of Nazism – acts as a hinge between the 2 worlds that the artist desires to unite: The weight of Central European historical past and the vitalist sensuality of the Mediterranean.”
