My research during the painting process is inner piece, to let go all thoughts and disturbing elements. Letting emerging the most inner part that resonates with my colors. The main source of inspiration for my abstract paintings is the surrounding nature, I lived several years in North Italy in the Alps and nearby during many walks, I could observe small settlements, cultivated land, fruit plantations, rows of vineyards and the rivers of the valleys and of course forests and woods with that magic light filtering through... and flower fields, masses of flowers... all changing color in every season. And of course the surrounding mountains with the snow that never melts and gives that magic contrast to the blue sky during the year. I used different layers of acrylic color, Conté color pencils, Graphite and much more (always respecting the materials compatibility) on heavy canvas. In all my paintings I feel the need to bring contrasting colors together and make them stay in harmony, enforcing each other and making the view vibrant to the eye. For this reason the painting is one thing from a distance, and another thing in close up view with hundreds of tiny details that one can discover through time. You will find my works in private collections in EU and USA. The painting will arrive rolled in a tube and needs to be stretched/framed. It can be done on a 150x150cm front measure stretching frame. You will receive the authentication certificate fixed on the back of it. For any further questions please feel free to contact me!
