    A weird urban fantasy

    Just to make an experiment with certain colors and some Artrage tools, but eventually vaguely reminding, curiously, of metaphysycal paintings and of pre-WWII architectural style ...
    Maybe also the best way to solve Rome traffic. LOL

    No Safety Net!

    Great image. Well balanced (no pun intended!) Lovely colours and the very meaningful message. I enjoyed this one, so thanks for sharing ;-)

    Dear Gary, the essential is possibly the aim of this painting where I concentrated some of the Roman colors in a sunny day. They're even more bright somehow and the various white, ochre, yellow, sienna etc. of the buildings and architectural elements stand out of against the sky.
    The painting was so simple and trivial, almost mechanical, by using the replicating and tranforming features to speed up the execution and give the sense of order and non-organic elements that I needed a figure and a story to populate these few volumes.
    Balance and imagination are the means for carrying out our existence in a profitable way, even in an environment which looks lonely and careless of us, a sensation we may all feel in cerain periods of our life. Thank You!

    Thank You, dear Pat. Unconsciously it probably represent what I often used to do by painting. Look for surprises and original ideas and stories while using the necessary knowledge and techniques (the least of them) to put them in a decent and, as far as possible, enjoyable painting.

    Dear Robin Slee, first of all welcome in here! Actually we don not have any safety net in our life and sometimes not even a pole to help us across some difficulties I'm afraid, but still we have to try a change, a crossing and have enough faith and self-confidence to change our perspective. I don't want to play neither the phylosopher nor the wiseman, just state the importance of being alive and exploit this gift. This kind of of painting and style is just a completely new approach compared to my other and different periods and outcomes, so I cannot decide how interesting this path may be, where this new rope would possibly end up.
    Thank You!

    What a beautiful piece, I see in it a brilliant mix between the beautiful Rome earth colors and the severe EUR architecture. Good job and congrats for the balance too! Alè Italia

    That's what art's about, isn't it -- at some point it's about the relationship between the art and the viewer, sort of like speed dating. (D Akey)
