representation of human figures, often in moments of
suffering or hope, highlights the depth of emotions
and anxieties related to themes of leaving one’s
homeland: a journey arrived and a journey

the essence of struggle and the tenacity of the

painting not only a work of art but also a powerful
social message.
Pregoni employs a technique that combines
colored pigments with linseed oil, calendula oil,
bitumen, and dammar resin. This process gives
the painting a rich and complex texture. Pregoni’s
circular brushstrokes are reminiscent of Vincent
van Gogh, who used similar movements to create
dynamism and depth in his works. However, while
Van Gogh often used vibrant and contrasting
colors to express intense emotions, Pregoni tends
to use a palette that is both bright and earthy
to reflect the raw reality of the themes addressed,
allowing only the areas of color to strike the gaze.
The subject therefore shines with all the dramas of
life and all the hopes in unison.
