Alberto Porro’s Settebello explores the symbolic depth of European playing cards, particularly Scopa and the nearly forgotten game of Cuckoo. His meticulous paintings depict floating cards against richly textured backgrounds, evoking fortune, uncertainty, and historical resonance. With surreal precision, Porro balances graphic isolation and intricate detail, creating works that hover between reality and illusion, offering an intimate reflection on the passage of meaning through time.
