This drawing "Studio per autoritratto (Study for Self-Portrait)" represents a self-portrait of the artist linked to a recent trip: the drawing made after seeing the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The self-portrait, which the artist has pursued since his debut and which he considers one of the centres of his poetics, «is not simply a genre of art history that is lost in the mists of time, it is rather a glimpse of the world, the artist’s gaze on those who come across it, a form of resistance to the passage of time».
