2019 Islanda 70x100cm olio su tela

Monday 22nd July 2019 – Iceland

Back from an incredible trip to Iceland, I immediately started working and in this painting, one of the first, I depicted the peninsula of Tjornes, in north-eastern Iceland. I wondered what I wanted to focus on in these new Icelandic paintings, and I decided to start with the vivacity and brilliance of those greens.

Seeing them together made me realize that you can discover a light detail of a bay or a movement of water that runs along the coast and convey the taste of those places: with a few touches of color you can capture the soul of the Irish coasts. Happy monday and good start of […]
