Monday 21st May 2018 – The Fortress of Peniche

2018-Dalla-Fortezza-di-Peniche-50x100cm-olio-su-tela-dittico

The very first time I saw the Ocean was when I looked out of the Peniche Fortress in Portugal. In the contrast between the primary colors of the blue and yellow walls there is an interesting dialogue in terms of composition and meaning: the materiality of the fortress in the foreground is the physical point from which I am looking, and it seems like a springboard , of a yellow so bright to dazzle. The color of the Ocean ranges from the deep blue of the central part to the more delicate nuances towards the sides, to give the idea of enlarging the horizon and the space that you really feel in front of this irreducible vastness. The painting is a diptych that measures a total of 50x100cm. Happy monday and good week everyone!
