The chestnut tree is - in my opinion - the one that most represents the forest. Its buds, which spring from the fruit simply resting on the ground, have something magical about them. And the old chestnut trees, which are hundreds of years old, look like old shamans with a thousand secrets to reveal. In autumn, the leaves of the chestnut trees have such beautiful colours that my artist's palette envies them. And in winter, as the sun sets, the chestnut trees draw long, leaden shadows that cut perpendicularly across the path. This painting recounts the stroboscopic rhythm of their shadows, which my face encounters on the path. Light - shadow, warm - cold, sun - chestnut trees. In the warm embrace of nature. Created in the studio in August 2023, this painting is the reworking of numerous studies executed en plein air. The work is painted in oil on rough paper, then applied on 100% linen canvas mounted on a fixed fir frame made to measure by the artist. The signature is in the bottom right-hand corner. The painting is protected by a layer of satin acrylic varnish. The work is supplied with a thin wooden frame to protect the edges. It is ready to hang. The overall measurements of the framed painting are: centimetres: 44.8 W x 35.0 H x 3.2 D inches: 17.7” W x 13.8” H x 1.3” D The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. "The shadows of the chestnut trees" is the faithful translation of the original title in Italian "Le ombre dei castagni".

I am an Italian professional artist, born in 1969. I love nature, sunlight, the shadows of trees. I used nature to learn to paint, I discovered nature by painting. My pictorial research on nature began thirty years ago, in the woods of the Tuscan hills. Since then I have created countless studies en plein air, which I rework and synthesize in my studio. I am searching for a quick painting style, in one go and without hesitation, which can convey all the sensations that nature offers me. My goal is to paint pictures that, once hung, are able to irradiate the entire room with light, like a window wide open to nature. And I would like them to return the heat of summer, the frost of winter, the warm wind of spring. I love walking a path and reproducing it in my paintings. The path transforms into an invitation for the viewer to enter the painting. I often think of the path as a life journey, with goals in the distance and experiences left behind. I am in love with grass, ditches and marshes. I am obsessed with narrow "passages" between the bushes of a forest or the reeds of a swamp. I pass through them safely and happily, always imagining I am entering another dimension. My paintings are not simply landscapes. They are compositions that tell stories, moods or situations transfigured in nature. They are prayers, hymns to joy, praises to life. My artworks are notes of the magic that I experience every time I go out to paint, tools to remember it, pretexts to experience it again. As a separate discipline, I am also interested in portraiture, which I have always practised, also on commission. I live and work in my home-studio in Lucca, Tuscany (Italy).
