“The Palio di Siena horserace offered a one-off opportunity to capture the transition of the square. The banners are removed and the sand of the oval track is swept clean whilst thousands of tourists return to sit and drink coffee and admire the wonderful architecture: the place to see and be seen. I wanted to focus on the workforce, not the tourists, in order to create a more individual painting. The light was set, a day’s end with cool evening shadows stretching across the square.”
