Original artwork description:

Extended title: “Peach blossoms in the tree graveyard”

I had passed this long abandoned wasteland many times, where some "tree skeletons" lay covered with brambles. So much so that I called this place the "tree graveyard". But on this clear March morning I saw many magenta flowers sprouting from the bushes.
I thought about the rebirth of life and the cycle of all things on earth: life and death, care and abandonment, love and indifference.
Seeing nature, with its stubbornness, wearing its jewels again, showed me once more that life conquers all. And one day someone will take care of these abandoned trees. And there will be love again.

I wanted to capture this feeling in paint, using expressionistic, fluid and rapid brushstrokes to preserve the energy and authenticity of what I was experiencing.
This painting was done en plein air in the Tuscan countryside in March 2017.
The work is painted in oil on paper, then applied to 100% linen canvas and finally mounted on a fixed fir frame
The signature is in the lower right corner.
The painting is protected with a layer of satin acrylic varnish.
The work is presented in a thin fir frame, which deliberately shows the knots in the wood to better relate to the natural subject. The frame is stained brown. It is ready to hang.
The painting is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
"Peach blossoms in the tree graveyard" is a literal translation of the original Italian title "Fiori di pesco nel cimitero degli alberi".
