Serie di Venezia No. 1

"Serie di Venezia No. 1" marks an important milestone in my artistic journey, as it’s the first piece I’ve created in almost 15 years. It is also the first in a series inspired by the beautiful and unique scenes I’ve witnessed in Venice. While I was a bit rusty on technique, this piece turned out exactly as I envisioned it. The scene depicts a random alleyway around 5 pm, with the sun casting long shadows and darkening the amazing walls. This painting is not just about technique - it’s about the emotional connection to the fleeting beauty of Venice."

Another fact about this painting is that it is painted over an existing painting I had done 15 years earlier and was one of two that were to be a series of the study of the color Red. They both sat under the bed for years before I dug them out and decided to re-use the canvases.
