“Orient Express”

“Orient Express”: Where Past and Present Meet on Canvas

The very recent artwork “Orient Express” is part of the “Volti” series, one of the most meaningful artistic threads developed by DMG. This collection is highly appreciated by collectors, with many pieces now housed in private collections across Italy.

This specific Volto portrays the face of an Eastern European woman, her striking profile captured with a blend of hyperrealism and dreamlike abstraction. Her expressive features, rendered in vibrant tones of red, gold, and blue, emerge from a textured background that evokes both water and memory, creating a painting that is at once intimate and powerful.

What makes Orient Express even more unique is its frame. Discovered in a rustic farmhouse in the Piacenza hills during a renovation, the antique 1930s frame was carefully restored and repainted by the artist. Unlike most works, where the frame is chosen after the painting is completed, here the creative process was reversed: the rediscovered frame inspired the artwork itself. The result is a perfect fusion of history and modernity, where the essence of a past era meets the vision of contemporary art.

This original artwork is available in two dimensions:

• 100 x 70 cm (without frame)

• 120 x 90 cm (with restored antique frame)

A rare masterpiece, Orient Express is a work destined for true collectors and connoisseurs of unique art pieces, blending technical mastery, emotional intensity, and historical resonance.
