AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Deeply Sicilian at heart, Giovanni Viola represents his homeland with extreme delicacy and profound respect. On tiptoe, he leads us into the Sicilian hinterland, to secluded corners of the coast, far from the usual tourist destinations, using a language faithful to the painterly tradition, devoted to uncovering the essence of things. Viola seems to go beyond objective representation and its supposed correspondence to reality, in order to intuit atmospheres, impressions, and express sensations, moods. The pastel technique, which he often uses, emphasizes the impalpability of the material, where sky and sea merge on the horizon line, suggesting calm and infinity.
The graphic presented here is produced using a 'digital etching' technique. It was first printed digitally through several steps and then impressed in intaglio to obtain a relief that makes the image vibrate.
