Original artwork description:

Oil on cardboard, 20 x 21.5 cm, 2013. ORIGINAL SOLD.

This painting is based on some photos that I still have about my early childhood holidays at the sea, here in Italy. We used to go every summer in Liguria, spending there almost one month. I remember most of all my fear of water and swimming! Maybe my sister, the elder among the two, remembers most of all the bother of having me as a little brother! As always happens with childhood memories, that place, and that sea, that were enormous in the eyes of child, are now so small, fragile and familiar.

Materials used:

oil and pencil on cardboard
