Once upon a time, there was an island that no map could mark. Not because it floated on water or among the clouds, but because it existed only in the hearts of those who had chosen to stay. Beneath a tree with leaves as light as thoughts, a little girl sat with her eyes closed. Beside her, a crane elegantly lifted from the ground, while a dove, bearer of memories, flew beside her like a promise. On the island that remains, no one is in a hurry. The birds do not fly to escape. The trees silently protect the shadow. And the children are not afraid to close their eyes. Every leaf that falls marks a desire that has found its place. Every breath is a thread that sews sky and earth. This island is not made of stone, but of memories, of kind gestures that endure. Stop. This island is made of those who, even for just a moment, had the courage to stay. Painting from the series "From fairy tale to fairy tale", dedicate to enchantment, poetry, Nature and illusion ... This artwork is made with acrylic colors on 100% cotton canvas. The edges are painted so the painting can be hung without frame. The surface is finished with a double layer of a water-based satin varnish, which makes it resistant to UV rays and the passage of time. The signature is present both on the front and on the back of the canvas. The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. www.federicabelloli.com @federicabellolipainter
