Respiro, 180x120cm, olio su tela
I was in Amsterdam last weekend and one of the most beautiful places there is the museum dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh. I liked most the masterpiece entitled “The Sower”. Compared to this picture Van Gogh himself said in a letter to Emile Bernard in 1888: “Snatches of memories from past times, yearnings for that infinite of which the Sower, the sheaf, are the symbols, still enchant me as before”. When I paint the sea and the Irish expanses, as in this work, “Breath” 180x120cm oil on canvas, I’m also looking for that Infinite. With this breath I would like to wish you all Happy Easter!
