Roberto Mauri (1977) - La casa nel campo rosso

Roberto Mauri – “The House in the Red Field” – 30x60 cm

A vast red field runs through the painting and determines its immediate visual impact. The landscape unfolds in horizontal bands: the yellow grasses in the foreground, the scarlet expanse, a luminous green stripe, and finally the blue horizon beneath an intense sky. This essential construction gives the scene a clear order, accentuated by the panoramic format.
On the right, a small house with light walls and an orange roof rises beside a tree with a full canopy. The long shadow stretching over the ground makes a lateral light perceptible and introduces a note of quiet suspension. Farther away, two isolated trees and a sinuous white path measure the depth of space, while tiny sails dot the blue band of the horizon.
The contrast between red, green, yellow, and blue transforms the landscape into an emotional synthesis of nature. The house becomes a point of gathering within an open expanse, evoking the sense of a refuge, calm, and the possibility of dwelling in silence.
