This artwork represents the famous Palio di Siena (an horese race that take place in the main square of Siena twice at year) with the image of Saint Catherine to look at it. The race is very fast and in fact lastes only 1 minutes and 15 seconds about, so I tried to recreat the dynamism of this race in my artwork
