Painted in November 2025, the work focuses on a doorway as both an architectural element and a symbolic threshold, a passage between interior and exterior space, memory and movement, presence and departure.

Originally combining residential and commercial functions, the villa today serves as a space dedicated to artistic and cultural activities, continuing its connection to creativity and public life. Its architecture reflects the elegant spirit of the early twentieth century, where decorative forms, light and craftsmanship play an essential role.
