PAINTED DREAM #35

Shot in the Val d’Orcia during high summer, as daylight gave way to shadow, this image captures the landscape not by describing it, but by distilling it.
The low evening light doesn’t flatten the view—it layers it. Ridge after ridge, field after field, each zone of color slips into the next like sediment settling in water.

The camera movement is slow and deliberate, horizontal, almost geologic in feel. There’s no single focal point—composition here is stripped of narrative, built instead on tonal rhythm. Rust, ash, olive, and pale sand push across the frame in broad, unbroken bands.
The land becomes a surface of shifting densities: soft where the light recedes, dense where the earth holds heat.
