This painting is a vortex of chromatic energy, where the blue of the sky and sea blend with the warm tones of the buildings. It is a work that captures the essence of a vibrant port, rendered through an eclectic palette. Blue, from cobalt to cerulean, dominates the scene evoking the freshness and movement of the sea waves, while touches of yellow, orange and red add warmth and contrast, suggesting the sunlight refracting off the facades of the buildings and the sails of the boats.

Full-bodied strokes of black and white provide depth and structure, outlining shapes in a dialogue of light and shadow that bring the composition to life. The green and purple brushstrokes instil a sense of organic vitality, as if nature were making space between the urban architecture.

The technique employed is dynamic and almost impetuous, with strokes of the spatula giving a palpable texture, as if one could feel the pulsing rhythm of the harbour. It is a work that exudes movement and life, calling the viewer to immerse themselves in the orderly chaos of an abstract harbour scene.

Materials used:

First-rate oil colors of the Florentine brand "DI VOLO" applied with spatula were used for the painting, and the pictorial support is a cottono canvas pre-painted for oil painting with Gesso and Glue.
