Red, Yellow and… Beyond

In this painting, colour becomes the absolute protagonist and unfolds into an emotional landscape. Red and yellow engage in a luminous dialogue that runs through the entire scene, creating an atmosphere suspended between reality and vision.

The sun, rendered as a vortex of warm light, dominates the horizon and reflects upon the water in a circular rhythm that evokes the movement of time and energy. The landscape unfolds across two symbolic dimensions: on one side an essential nature, where bare trees seem to trace graphic gestures in space; on the other an architectural presence that emerges like the memory of a civilisation — almost a silent town immersed in the glow of sunset.

The painterly surface, built through free gestures and layered colour, reinforces the expressive dimension of the work. Warm, intense and enveloping tones transform the landscape into a place of the inner world, where light and colour become instruments of emotional narration.

Red, Yellow and… Beyond thus becomes a chromatic journey inviting the viewer’s gaze to wander among horizon, reflections and symbols, allowing personal interpretations to emerge.

The distinctive feature of this work is its glass support, which lends the textured surface an exceptional inner luminosity. The brushstrokes move energetically in concentric rhythms around the radiant centres of sky and earth.

A compelling contrast emerges between the organic silhouettes of the bare trees on the left and the more structured architectural forms of the castle-like settlement on the right. This dialogue between nature and architecture creates a visual tension that keeps the viewer’s gaze in constant motion across the composition.

Wooden frame housing the glass panel, characterised by an aged golden patina with a richly textured and intentionally irregular finish. Conceived to harmonise with the warm tones of the composition, it subtly enhances the painting’s light and chromatic intensity.
Its generous scale (almost one metre wide) and powerful chromatic presence call for a spacious wall. The work is particularly striking when displayed above a sofa, fireplace or long sideboard.

The colours reach their full expressive power when placed against a dark wall — charcoal grey or deep forest green — or in a room illuminated by warm ambient lighting.
