Shared Shade Two boys, grown by summer, stand at the tide’s lip, pockets of unsent words. The umbrella is a portable sky, a hush against the burning day. They glance at tomorrow; for one held breath, today holds still. The sea keeps their secret as noon turns to blue promise. - Unique, original hand-painted artwork - Stretched and ready to hang (frame NOT included) - Signed on the back. - Includes certificate of authenticity - Ships within from Italy with insurance Stefano is an Italian contemporary artist whose signature palette-knife impasto fuses impression with abstraction, drawing modern landscape into the realm of feeling. Working in layered oils, he builds terrains of light and texture where color, movement, and emotion collide—ridges catch the sun, scraped passages breathe, and horizons are implied rather than described. Born in Milan and now based in a small town in the countryside, he draws equally on urban momentum and rural quiet. His process is physical and rhythmic: mixing dense pigments, laying and lifting paint, and letting the knife score and glide so that time remains inscribed on the surface. City lines loosen into gesture; meadows turn into chromatic tides. Stefano’s canvases open a conversation between reality and imagination, between memory and place. He turns recollection into motion and places into sensation, inviting viewers to linger, wander, and recognize themselves in the shifting distance.
