2018 Verso Sankt Moritz 150x230cm olio su tela

Monday 4th March 2019 – Sankt Moritz

I love when, above the mountains, the sky is bustling and full of contrasts, as in this great 150x230cm painting. In those moments I feel the urgency of putting on the canvas what I have seen. In this view of the Engadine Alps the beam of light follows the train track in the middle of the poles, towards Sankt Moritz. The dynamism of the clouds seems to give a storm notice, which makes this place full of wonder for the […]

Monday 8th October 2018 – Crossing

In this mixed media on paper I have represented the mountains of the Engadine with the snow and the poles that trace the route of the Red Train.

Monday 28th May 2018 – Bernina

In this crossing towards the Bernina I wanted to focus on the freshness of the snow, and I got this effect by leaving the texture of the canvas white and adding a few touches of pink pastel to trace the path of the railway. The blue sky, very dark, makes me taste the restful contrast of the snow. Nature always inspires me, the more I look at it, the more I follow it. Happy monday and good week everyone!
