Insieme Painting

As I stood before the canvas of "Insieme," I couldn't help but marvel at how it had come to life through weeks of dedicated observation and meditation. The journey of its creation was a mysterious one, as it seemed to take on a life of its own, guiding me through an emotional rollercoaster. Initially, I struggled with the horizontal direction, feeling disconnected from the painting. It just didn't evoke the emotions I had hoped for. But as I reversed course and decided to explore the vertical direction, a sudden realization hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was captivated by the way the painting communicated in this new orientation, and figures emerged as if from the depths of my subconscious. With each stroke, I felt a profound connection, as if the canvas had become an extension of my soul. The painting, now pulsating with life, conveyed a sense of unity, togetherness, and harmony. The title "Insieme" perfectly encapsulated the essence of the artwork, as if it was meant to be a celebration of shared human experiences. The emotional resonance in the painting became evident to others as well, culminating in the prestigious recognition of the "Charles Movalli" gold medal at the 2022 National Show at the Rockport Art Association and Museum.
