ABOUT THE ARTWORK
On a path blazing with autumn colours, a blade of light cuts my way. In this sun-kissed corner of the forest, I stop to think. There, my restlessness dissolves with the evaporating dew. The strong colours that had been with me until then take on new shades with the sun and everything looks different. This painting belongs to the series on paths, the main theme of my pictorial poetics. The path is perceived as a life journey and a mirror of oneself, with stories left behind and goals to be reached in the distance. The chromatic contrast and the bold, vigorous brushstrokes could represent the troubled state of mind of someone treading their path with fear and despair. The sudden burst of light could instead be read as affection or someone's support. This painting was created in the studio in December 2022. It is a reworking of several en plein air studies. The work is painted in oil on Masonite, a panel of compressed wood fibre. Masonite is a material that was widely used by artists in the first half of the 20th century as a support for their paintings because it is extremely strong and crushproof. I love painting on this material because its very smooth surface allows me to achieve effects that cannot be achieved on other materials. I also have the guarantee of high durability. The signature is on the bottom right. The painting is protected by a layer of satin acrylic varnish. The work comes with a thin black wooden frame to protect the edges. It is ready to hang. The overall dimensions of the framed painting are: centimetres: 52.2 W x 42.2 H x 2.5 D inches: 20.6" W x 16.6" H x 1" D The work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. "The sun shines on me and soothes my restless soul" is a literal translation of the original Italian title “Il sole mi illumina e placa il mio animo inquieto”.

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).
