Serie di Venezia No. 4

"Serie di Venezia No. 4" is a painting that holds a special place in my heart - it’s the first time I witnessed an official Gondola during my travels through Venice. It felt like the right moment and the right space - capturing the quiet solitude of the city in one of its many secluded corners. Venice, in its hidden nooks, has so many secrets to offer, and this piece is a tribute to those discoveries."
