A. De Luca (1979) - Tra fiori e persiane turchesi

Title: Between Flowers and Turquoise Shutters
Author: A. De Luca
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 40×30 cm

A cat with black and white fur rests on the windowsill of a window, immersed in the quiet of a domestic corner rich with light and color. The turquoise shutters, slightly open to the darkness inside, create a vibrant frame around the animal, whose vigilant gaze seems to follow something beyond the painting’s space. A small blue butterfly introduces a delicate and playful note, suggesting a light movement in the stillness of the scene.
In the foreground, a flower box overflowing with red, orange, and yellow blossoms animates the composition with lively brushstrokes, alternating with bright greens and deep shadows. The iron railing, with its lower scrolls, marks the space and accompanies the fall of the blooming branches. The walls, traversed by blue and ivory hues, convey the charm of surfaces marked by time. The contrast between the freshness of the turquoises and the warmth of the flowers gives the work a welcoming atmosphere, turning a simple window into a small tale of everyday serenity.
