Original artwork description:

Under a vibrant spring sky, two trees stand on either end of a moat.
The trees are similar, perhaps born at the same time, in the same place and under the same sky.
But they are divided.
The strong wind stirs their branches and seems to sweep everything away.
I thought of those trees as two people experiencing a division in their relationship, A two brothers, two friends or two lovers with a heart as agitated as that wind.
I wanted to tell this feeling with paint, painting with expressionist, fluid and fast brushstrokes, to preserve the energy and spontaneity of what I was experiencing.

This painting was done en plein air in March 2018 in the Tuscan countryside.
The work is painted in oil on paper, then applied on 100% linen canvas mounted on a fixed fir frame custom-built by the artist.
The signature is in the lower right corner.
The painting is protected by a layer of satin acrylic varnish.
The work comes with a thin fir frame, with the knots in the wood deliberately in view, in order to tie in better with the natural subject depicted. The frame has been coloured in transparent white. It is ready to hang.
The work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
"Divided" is a faithful translation of the original Italian title "Divisi".
