I am thrilled to introduce you to my artwork, "Capodistria," a painting that holds a special place in my heart. As I immersed myself in the creative process, I was inspired by a postcard from the late 1800s and early 1900s depicting Capodistria (Italy), specifically focusing on La Porta Della Muda and the red house where I was born.
The painting captures the essence of a bustling historical European town square, teeming with life and vibrancy. The foreground features a herd of sheep being guided by handlers dressed in traditional attire, while the middle ground showcases colorful buildings and a grand archway that acts as a focal point. Human figures of different backgrounds and activities populate the scene, adding depth and character to the overall composition.
What makes this artwork unique is the personal connection I have to the subject matter. Through my memories of time past, I infused the painting with emotion and nostalgia, creating a piece that not only captures the atmosphere of a bygone era but also evokes a sense of longing and appreciation for the history and culture of Capodistria.
The expressive brushstrokes, vibrant palette, and dynamic composition come together to create a visual feast for the senses, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the lively world of the painting. With each stroke of the brush, I aimed to convey the beauty and charm of a historical European town, showcasing the richness of everyday life and the diversity of its inhabitants.
I hope that "Capodistria" will inspire you as much as it inspired me to create it. Let the colors and energy of the painting transport you to a different time and place, where history and art intertwine to tell a captivating story. Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey, and I look forward to sharing more of my creations with you in the future.
With love and creativity,
