Alba sulla Costa

The Ligurian coast at first light, the sea still dark and the sky just beginning its transformation from deep indigo to rose gold. A solitary fishing boat sits low in the water, its hull a dark silhouette that anchors the composition. Painted on board with oil, the small format concentrates the energy — every centimetre of surface carries meaning, and the restraint of the palette makes the first flush of colour on the horizon feel earned, almost sacred.
