The starting point of the paintings that Tomas Pizá presents in A grecian solitude is a file generated during the journey that the artist made following the traces of the British novelist William Beckford (1760-1844) on his European Grand Tour.
From Belgium to Italy, Piza has collected a series of souvenirs, including photographs, postcards, and innumerable anecdotes which, together with the book Beckford published in 1783, form the germ of a visual diary through which Piza reinterprets the ruins of History from a contemporary perspective.
