Sicilia 1

Sicilia 1 is the first painting in a series that explores the process of abstraction from an urban landscape in Sicily, Italy. This piece captures the initial, more representational view of the scene, where the details of the architecture, streets, and atmosphere are still vivid and clear. The painting reflects the immediacy of the experience, with precise forms and recognizable elements that anchor the memory in reality.

However, Sicilia 1 also hints at the inevitable fading of memory, with subtle blurring and the beginning of abstraction. It acknowledges the fleeting nature of our perceptions, where some aspects of the experience are retained with clarity, while others begin to dissolve into the background. This painting serves as a starting point in the journey of memory, where the urban landscape is still fresh but already tinged with a sense of nostalgia for what will soon be forgotten.
