Monday 12th June 2017 – Summer Evening

I paint the most attractive, relaxing and brightening things that I see.
“Painting is a long effort of imitation of what is loved”, in these words by Renato Guttuso, a great artist of the 20th century, I find a summary of the message that I would like to share on this Monday.
Imitating is to look calm, to be struck by nature, and then to enter into me what I have seen. For this reason, painting is a long-lasting effort of imitation, because you have to put your pictorial sight in the canvas (which has nothing to do with copying). In this work I tried to convey the freshness with the colors of the turquoise and the yellow reflections of the lights, because from what you love, something interesting can be born.
