2021 Airport 40x40cm olio su tela

Monday 6th September 2021 – Airport

The signs of the airport runways always make me think: in which direction will my work go? I don’t know, I answer myself, it is always difficult to predict what will happen. The only thing that makes me breathe is to experience what I have in my hands well, such as this track in the foreground.

Monday 15th February 2021 – Airport

This small 20x20cm painting depicts the Malpensa airport at the first light of dawn.

I give you this image which is […]

2020 Malpensa 30x30cm olio su tela

Monday 7th December 2020 – Malpensa

The theme of the line, at this airport in Malpensa, is of capital importance, because it allows me to indicate where to look. With that warm orange, it allows me to go straight to the sunset light. Looking carefully at the painting, I realized that the light pole almost looks like a stationary person, waiting. This detail, clearly unintentional (the proportions would all be wrong 😊), however makes me reflect on the fact that some paintings, looked at after months, […]
