Conchiglia - Shell Painting

Signed by Author with Authentication. This painting is a revision of an old painting that the artist has reinterpreted with a different focus on shapes and colors. At the center of the composition, a spiral shell emerges as an element of strong visual presence suspended in a blue background with variable shades that evokes an aquatic or underwater environment. The movement of the spiral is rendered through brush strokes that alternate warm and cold tones, from yellows and oranges to greens and reds, creating a dynamic and vibrant effect that accentuates the three-dimensionality of the shape. The shell, with its enveloping structure and its chromatic play, captures the attention and guides the gaze towards the center, giving a sense of depth to the composition. The background, executed with soft and less defined brush strokes, helps to enhance the main subject and the contrast between the more marked brush strokes and the shaded tones creates a visual tension that enriches the work with emotional stratifications.
