Along the way we come to a "passage" that must be crossed in order to continue. The view of what lies ahead is obscured by the leaves, and the bushes wrap our bodies tightly around them. Some leaves caress us, but there are also branches that scratch us. Dew bathes our bodies. We cannot see where our feet are going, but experience and intuition will guide us with optimism to discover what lies beyond the green passage. This painting is one of a series of 'passages' encountered along the paths, which I imagine as events and situations from which one cannot escape. The forest is rendered with quick, colour-poor brushstrokes brushstrokes, the canvas deliberately left white at points of light. Painting is reduced to a minimum, everything is rendered with restrained gestures. The painting was done in the studio in August 2023. It is a reworking of several studies done en plein air. The work is painted in oil on canvas panel. 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 dimensions of the framed painting are: centimetres: 32.3 W x 42.0 H x 2.5 D inches: 12.7" W x 16.5" H x 1" D The work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. “Green passage” is a literal translation of the original Italian title "Passaggio verde”.

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).
