Mario Carletti's work represents a cubist and abstract style, in which movement and dynamic figures are the protagonists. The painting presents an intricate and articulated composition dominated by stylized and geometric anthropomorphic figures that seem to dance or move harmoniously. The shapes of the bodies are fragmented into sharp, curved lines, evoking the sense of fluidity and dynamism typical of Futurism and Cubism.
The work can be interpreted as an ode to human energy, movement and the interconnectedness of forms. The absence of realistic details in the faces suggests universality, leaving the viewer free to interpret the emotions and narrative of the scene. The dynamism and broken lines also recall the desire for modernity typical of the twentieth-century avant-garde.
