About Waterlily ecosystem:
The 'Urbani' pond is one of my cornerstones. Ex quarry on the bank of the Metauro river, now is colonized by a rich population of insects, amphibians and birds. In recent years some local naturalistic associations have built fantastic observatories for nature photography: you can go there and sit and take pictures without interfering.

Even when I don't have a particular project in mind, it’s a pleasure to stop for a visit. I can be sure to come home with a notebook full of ideas.

This study of a hypothetical Nymphaea alba ecosystem is the development of one of these ideas. I was impressed by the depth to which the stems descended, and by the number of creatures that darted between them. Then, looking at the notes I had taken, I was impressed that all the themes somehow hinted at the ephemerality of the passing time.

At that moment I decided that mass of confused notes should become a painting.

As usual, I started with a preparatory sketch on parchment paper to test the colours and the texture of the leaves.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting
