Original artwork description:

MIRAGGIO IN ALTO MARE — Mirage on the Open Sea

Medium: Oil on canvas, palette knife
Size: 105 × 90 cm
Year: 2025

Mirage on the Open Sea is a visual journey where solitude becomes a state of revelation rather than abandonment.
The boat — minimal yet intensely expressive — is not the protagonist by form, but by emotional resonance. It represents the human spirit navigating through uncertainty, guided only by intuition and the faint promise of light.

The sea is not treated as a reflective surface, but as a living, reactive substance.
Every stroke moves like wind, every fragment of color behaves like a shifting current — transforming the canvas into an ocean of movement, memory, and perception.

The work places the viewer in a suspended question:

Is this a moment of return?

Or the beginning of a new departure?

The answer is intentionally unresolved, because a mirage is not a deception —
it is a dream vivid enough to be seen.


“Not everything that looks distant is unreachable.”

Materials used:

First-rate oil colors of the Florentine brand "DI VOLO" applied with spatula were used for the painting, and the pictorial support is a cottono canvas pre-painted for oil painting with Gesso and Glue.
