Shoes that tell a story
The connection to Van Gogh
The worn shoes were a recurring subject for Vincent van Gogh, evoking the essence of everyday life, the weight of labor and the dignity of work.
Paolo May, drawn to this symbolic power, reinterprets the theme through a personal lens, transforming the tribute to the Dutch master into an independent creative act.
A personal interpretation
This is not a reproduction, but a transformation: the shoes become sculpted forms, shaped in clay and finished with glazes and colors that emphasize wear and materiality.
- Rough surfaces that convey lived experience
- Details that suggest movement and endurance
- Chromatic depth that enhances emotional intensity
From symbol to emotion
May gives voice to simple humanity, made of daily paths and quiet resilience. The artwork becomes a bridge between Van Gogh’s legacy and a contemporary vision, capable of evoking emotion and giving new life to a timeless subject.
