The red-haired girl
” She is a Dutch model who used to come to my studio. Once she caught my attention as she was posing for one of my students with a flower in her hand. I imagined her in the landscape that I prefer: my hometown, Lake Puccini.”
Light
” One of my main interests as an artist is light. I love light because even when it illuminates abandoned environments it has the incredible ability to bring them back to life!”
The house of dreams
”Despite the title, it is a really existing house that struck me for the very interesting cutting light that hits the wall. I then added a glimpse of the interior with a female figure that evokes a welcoming and warm place.”
October
” This painting celebrates Fall with its fruits, but what fascinates me the most in the image I portrayed is the beautiful sky. I love the sky with all the shades it offers us!”
Place of hope
” I am always struck by countryside tabernacles, I stop to think about how many people have placed their hope there, praying with their soul and heart, leaving there their most secret thoughts. ”
Absolute
” I have always been fascinated by distant horizons that appear infinite. I hear again
the need to illuminate everything with the light that becomes the main character.”
Iron bridge
” This lovely painting is an oil sketch made live during summertime, while I was surrounded by the beautiful nature and nice breeze of the Versilian Apuan mountains.”
November
” For this painting I was inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and in particular the winter sea, which I love. What fascinated me the most was the colorful sky that reminded me of the colors of our local winter fruits.”
Timeless
” In this painting the timeless beauty is expressed by the Greek column. The fruit basket that stands out on the stone sill indicates life in all its splendor.”
Summer afternoon
” This lovely painting is a live oil sketch, I was at the lake of Massaciuccoli near Lucca, just behind the villa Puccini which belonged to the great composer. A magical place.”
The place of secret messages
” In this painting I represented an existing ruin with messages written by young people who used to meet there. I therefore imagined a place for exchange and communication by adding a vintage telephone with the handset off the hook as if everything was a current event.”
September
”By painting this picture, I imagined the ingredients for the preparation of a relaxing dinner that is enjoyed after a beautiful day. As always, my interest and my passion for the sky, the light and the sea are evident.”
Pristina nomine
” The primitive female beauty drawn on an old, abandoned wall, it evokes a beauty that is eternal, has neither past nor present. The cat could not be missing because it has always been associated with mystery and feminine beauty.”
