In "Buoni amici, andiamo ai campi" drawing fascinates the spectator thanks to a powerful optical illusion: the landscape drawn on the wall in the background, that stands because of its dimension and delicate line, reveals the outline of three statues that slowly appear to a close and attentive gaze. The pace of the spectator thus becomes a nearly initiatory journey: while the stones virtually recreate the floor of the nave of a church, the vision of the landscape alludes to the ground beneath and the cycle of life, evoked by a nature that man will inevitably return to and be part of. “You are dust and to dust you shall return,” is the word to the wise that Mastrovito alludes to when he blends sculpture into background, figures and trees, by means of the surgical line drawn in pencil.
