About The Artwork
Extended title: "The light kisses the swamp and caresses the mountains before it leaves" During the day, the swamp is always radiant with light. There are few shadows, as light is everywhere. But at sunset time, when everything turns pink and orange, something magical happens. The water reverberates all the colors, the green of the hills merges with the yellow of the light, and all the shadows turn turquoise. I still haven't figured out, after so many years of watching it, whether for nature that wonderful spectacle represents joy or sorrow. The moment is so intense that I compare it to the farewell between two lovers, who have spent the whole day embraced. That is why I imagine the light kissing the marsh and caressing the mountains before leaving. Created in the studio in August 2023, this painting is a reworking of several studies done en plein air. The work is painted in oil on rough paper, then applied to 100% linen canvas mounted on a fixed fir frame custom built by the artist. The signature is in the lower right corner. The painting is protected by a layer of satin acrylic varnish. The work comes with a thin wooden frame to protect the edges. It is ready to hang. The overall measurements of the framed painting are: centimeters: 49.8 W x 34.8 H x 3.2 D inches: 19.6" W x 13.7" H x 1.3" D The work is accompanied by the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. "The light kisses the swamp and caresses the mountains before it leaves" is a faithful translation of the original Italian title “La luce bacia la palude e accarezza le montagne prima di andar via”.

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).
