This is not vandalism. This is a calculated, surgical removal. By erasing parts of the image, Samorì forces the viewer to fill in the blanks. He strips away the "mask" of portraiture to reveal the hollow, skeletal structure beneath.

Samorì’s obsession with the Baroque isn't just about style; it’s about the era's preoccupation with martyrdom and the grotesque. By reworking religious and classical iconography, he updates the concept of the "martyred body." In his hands, it is the painting itself that undergoes martyrdom. The smears and tears in the paint act as modern metaphors for the fragility of the human body and the erosion of historical memory. Physicality and Presence nicola samori paintings
