Behind the scenes of the mural
How does a monumental work take shape, from the first drawing to the final touches of color?
Discover the behind-the-scenes story of the fresco: the preparatory drawings, the research into proportions, the choice of colors, the painting techniques, and the meticulous work carried out on the scaffolding. Beyond the finished work, also discover the gestures, the stages, and the choices that allowed Michelangelo's world to be reborn on the church walls.
An invitation to look at painting differently
Art is also a philosophical journey...
Four years of happiness, culminating in the wonderful celebration organised by the people of Porto Pozzo.
This immersion in Michelangelo’s work profoundly enriched my reflections and my spiritual journey.
I would, of course, have liked this adventure to end differently in my relationship with the religious authorities.
More concerning today is the lack of serious measures to protect this fresco, despite the funds allocated by the Region of Sardinia.
Above all, I cherish the recognition of the Sardinian people.
Michel Gardey
