DETAIL: My aim was to create an elegant reception room from a space that had been stripped of all period detail in a 1970's renovation.
"La scala delle ninfe"The villa's staircase was somewhat less impressive than expected, so I painted statues of nymphs above whom were garlands of oak leaves. Their subtly gilded details glimmered in the light and gave richness to a very simple colour scheme.
