Abstract paintings

Descriptions

1. This is one of my favourite paintings. Honestly, it gives me, as the title of the painting itself says, “hope”. Apparently it doesn’t seem to tell anything, but within the spots of color, the brushstrokes drawn energetically against the canvas there is a lot to tell, at least as far as I will tell.
   I’m talking about the disorder in which we are used to living every day, in the midst of sad days, without any purpose, which many times we live and in which we feel without a real reason in mind. “Tomorrow will be better, I hope”: this would be the phrase I tried to assign to this painting. It’s crucial to have hope, even though the road toward us isn’t that clear. I don’t know how many people will actually read this description but it’s also a personal rant, so it’s okay even if I’m the only person reading it. “Hope”, 70x50cm acrylic on canvas ↩︎
2. This is also part of a series, the first of these is “Hope”, the painting on the left in the penultimate photo. I titled this one
   “Untitled, abstract”, I leave free interpretation to whoever observes it, since every little detail could arouse different emotions depending on who looks at it.
   I completed this canvas in 3 different sessions.
   The first time I picked up this white canvas I filled it with “dots” by dropping the color from above directly from the tube of paint. The primary colors came into play first: it is in fact possible, with careful observation, to notice
   “dots” in the background of yellow, red and blue. Once everything was dry, I began to sprinkle the canvas with quick brush strokes rich in color. I didn’t like the final result at all and that’s why I wanted to wait for it to dry before finally finishing the painting, so I took the colors in hand again and continued with the
   “dripping” technique to fill the canvas but with a special brush I spread the color on the canvas, as you can clearly see in places: top left and bottom center. ↩︎
