Sicilia 3

Sicilia 3 is the final painting in the Sicilia series, representing the culmination of the process of abstraction. By this stage, the urban landscape of Sicily has been transformed into a much more abstract composition, where the original details have faded, leaving behind only fragments of the experience. The forms are looser, the colors more expressive, and the once-clear image has become an interpretation of the memory rather than a direct representation.

This painting captures the essence of how our brains process and store memories—how certain details are forgotten, while others are remembered with surprising precision. Sicilia 3 nostalgically embraces this natural process, accepting that our memories are often more about interpretation than truth. It invites the viewer to reflect on the ways in which time distorts our perceptions, transforming vivid experiences into something more abstract and emotionally resonant.
