Original artwork description:

A life spent chasing a dream, never losing sight of the direction. At a certain point, the goal seems close and you start running. It is said that when we long for something, the world around us takes on a shape that allows us to reach our goal. Then it seems that the world itself is running towards us.

This painting was done in the studio in September 2023. It is a reworking of several en plein air studies.
The work is painted in oil on Masonite, a panel of compressed wood fibre. Masonite is a material that was widely used by artists in the first half of the 20th century as a support for their paintings because it is extremely strong and crushproof. I love painting on this material because its very smooth surface allows me to achieve effects that cannot be achieved on other materials. I also have the guarantee of high durability.
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 black wooden frame to protect the edges. It is ready to hang.
The painting is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
"Running towards the light" is the literal translation of the original Italian title "La corsa verso la luce".
