---Description---

With The Last Witness, Basel offers a work of striking intensity, where the silent elegance of a contemplative man contrasts with the violence of an event that reshapes the horizon.
Standing before a vast glass wall overlooking the city, a man watches, motionless, a nuclear mushroom cloud that lights up the sky. Beside him, a glass of whisky rests on the windowsill, like the last witness of a world that is wavering.
Inspired by the contemplative universe of Edward Hopper, this creation goes beyond a simple narrative scene to become a meditation on the fragility of civilization, power, human choices, and the silence that precedes great tragedies.
The palette of deep blues, contrasted with the incandescent glow of the explosion, creates an exceptional visual tension. The gaze constantly oscillates between the peaceful silhouette of the figure and the destructive force of the horizon, giving birth to a deeply cinematic work.
The Last Witness does not impose any answer. It invites everyone to reflect, to feel, and to imagine the story unfolding beyond the window.
