Description of the Work
A naïve reinterpretation of the Colosseum.
The amphitheater is rendered with simplified geometries and warm colors, surrounded by a stylized crowd reminiscent of Romanian folklore dear to the author.
The atmosphere is fairy-tale-like, transforming the historic monument into a playful and vibrant setting of everyday life.
