In front of a grey background, first a pink seating furniture with two black wheels, in the middle a woman's body surrounded by pink, blue and green fabric elements and finally the abstract, elongated muscular body of a man. For Crescente, painting is an instinctive rather than an intellectual process. The normal lack of distance to his own instincts therefore makes it impossible for him to explain his painting directly.
