This stunning painting captures an ethereal blend of soft hues, showcasing swirling clouds in a serene sky. The gentle gradients of purples and blues transition seamlessly into a soothing light background, creating a sense of calm and tranquility. The abstract composition invites the viewer to interpret the clouds' forms, evoking a dreamy atmosphere that feels both expansive and intimate. This painting would be perfect for modern living rooms, serene bedrooms, or calming office spaces. Its soft color palette harmonizes beautifully with neutral tones, making it an excellent focal point above a sofa or bed. Consider pairing it with minimalist decor for a balanced and sophisticated look.

The indefinite mood of this painting was inspired by a magnetic waltzer from a contemporary Japanese composer, Shigeru Umebayashi.
The energy and harmony of his music accompanied every brush stroke, every nuance of this mysterious landscape.
Its rhythm and verve give me joy and make me remember this melody of love and nostalgia every time I set eyes on it. |

STATEMENT
I'm a self-taught Italian painter, based in Treviso, near Venice, Italy.
Art invariably gifts me with time. Time to feel connected to land, sky, water and to my own skin, story and meaning.
The idea of connectedness is what embodies my aesthetic research, visually represented by waves made of sand and color.
Waves cannot exist as a standalone. And far from being this a defect, with their comings and goings they suggest me power, dynamism, the calmness and poetry of being in balance.
I find waves even in the smallest of things - tree branches slightly shaking, a cat slowly stretching on a mat, the half-smile of an old woman, cello notes from a window, eyes of strangers meeting each other for a brief moment.
It’s like witnessing countless acts of beauty that I want to be part of my paintings.
In the studio, I take those impressions and emotions and transform them into streams of sandy textures, first shaped by water and by my hands on the canvas, then smoothed with layers and layers of color.
To me sand is an indispensable material, because it’s deeply associated to the idea of a primeval bond to the planet.
In my view, those grains of sand on the painting are like roots tying me to earth, soothing my sense of fragility and giving me perspective.
I like to think the painting is the beginning of a dialogue with the viewers, where they can feel safe to embrace openness and to be part of a whole.
My works are mainly influenced by modern and contemporary artists, such as Zao Wou-Ki, Zhang Daqian, Julie Mehretu, David Hammons, Wu Chi-Tsung. I'm also indebted by the suggestions coming from architects such as Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry.
