Works made with Paleolithic pigments

The Collection of works made with Paleolithic pigments stems from Andrea Benetti‘s collaboration with the University of Bologna and the University of Ferrara. The latter certified and provided the artist with pigments (sediments, earths, ochre, and charcoal) from the excavations of Fumane Cave, where primitive humans used them 40,000 years ago to paint five stones, found in the cave, along with the “colors” used. The painted subjects are inspired by prehistoric symbolism and revive, after 40,000 years, the colors of an illustrious prehistoric predecessor.
