Oil painting on canvas. United States of America
sold by federico cortese
From the series “Flag”; oil and graphite pencil on canvas; 50 x 75 cm, 2014.
Every time that I come back home from a journey or a holiday, I always find some flags among the photographs that I’ve taken. I am particularly fascinated by those flags moved by the wind, where the geometries of the coloured tissues overlap on the spirals of folds and on the shadows generated by the movement. It’s even better if the flag is old, maybe a bit ripped, marked by the time that they spent to wave, maybe a little faded or dirty from the dusty air they crossed.

FAQs & Polices
Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?
I have always accepted and shipped orders outside Italy (US,EU, China, Brasil, Corea, Australia, etc...), and the shipping is always worldwide free!
How long will it take to receive my order?
Here in Italy the bureaucratic requirements for the export of works of art can vary according to the country of destination. Depending on this the execution of an order may take from two to 12 days.
Packaging
I have sold my works on several online galleries (saatchiart, zatista, artfinder, etc). Each painting is finished with a coat of UV varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. The canvases are painted on the sides too, so they are ready to hang. My sold works are never rolled but always packed flat. I put them between two sheets of acid free paper with paper or cardboard protection for the corners, than close in a plastic envelope. The envelope is stiffen with a sheet of polystyrene on both sides, and the whole thing is completed with layers of cardboard. The package is also protected with bubble packaging inside. When sold, the artwork is shipped in 2/12 days after receiving the payment. All my artworks are original unique paintings, signed. The certificate of Authenticity is always included.
Torino, Italy
To paint has always been the thing that gives a reason in my life. At a certain point of it I understood that it was impossible for me to smother this propensity, in favor of some more profitable job, and this is why I decided to try to make it a possible job, despite all difficulties and lack of money! In a certain sense, this era of uncertainty and change that we all are living, allows us to try to change the lack of security into an opportunity, being always open to accept what can come.
