Its the story of my life my happiness my struggle and my fears and threat.
“Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~ Changes are like waves rolling back and forth. They can bring great opportunities or painful growth. As humans, we tend to resist change as it causes an upheaval of comfort. Embracing change is always a gamble. This painting is called Rogue Wave as it represents a shift in tides. It reminds us that while we may not be able to control what happens around us, we can roll with the waves of change and embrace the growth that comes along. Explore the possibilities…
from the series "Abandoned rooms", oil on canvas. 40 x 70 cm. This series of paintings was inspired by the metaphysical landscapes of De Chirico. I have always been fascinated by their clear vision of the architecture, with the precise design of the shadows, almost anticipating the modern use of three-dimensional modeling software. In the way I feel, however, more introverted and almost unsociable, the outer space is transformed into a closed one, private and protected, from which the human presence is totally gone away. In those rooms then, it may happen that some strange objects and some unexpected decorations appear, suggesting that the person who lives there has overcome the lack of relationship to the outside world with the richness and complexity of his inner world.
