The Fireflies

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2021
Technique: Watercolor on paper (watercolor, plastic film)
Dimensions: 70 x 100 cm

Description:

The artwork Fireflies evokes a twilight landscape, where the soft glow of fireflies weaves through a forest set ablaze with amber, orange, and scorched earth tones. The interplay between material and transparency suggests the quiet persistence of nature, still present, though wounded.

In this composition, the fireflies become symbols of both fragility and hope, tiny presences silently illuminating the darkness caused by environmental impact. The piece reflects the tension between the ephemeral beauty of natural life and the growing threat of pollution.

A visual dialogue between resistance and dissolution, in perfect continuity with the spirit of the Plastic Free series.

Fragmented Ocean / Oceano Frammentato

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2025
Technique: Watercolor on paper (plastic film)
Dimensions: 25 x 38 cm

Description:

In Fragmented Ocean, deep blue shatters into a symphony of broken lines and visual shards. Cool hues chase one another like disoriented waves, reflecting a sea no longer whole, scattered, fractured, aching.

Irregular strokes recall torn nets and drifting plastic, while subtle shadows suggest the invisible presence of trapped creatures, submerged in a forced silence. The artwork is a silent cry, an emotional map of a wounded ocean that still endures, despite everything.

A fragment of water and sorrow, speaking more to the conscience than to the eyes.

Underwater Flames / Fiamme Sottomarine

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2025
Technique: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 26 x 40 cm

Description:

In Underwater Flames, colors erupt like a submerged blaze: incandescent yellows, burning reds, and tainted greens swirl in a restless vortex. It is the toxic heat of polluted seabeds, where plastic dissolves slowly, altering the silent life of the deep sea.

The composition, seemingly chaotic, reflects the loss of harmony among the elements, a broken balance, a liquid landscape burning without fire. The forms twist like suffocated algae, like life struggling to endure among the remnants of what humanity has left behind.

A blazing abyss that never stops screaming.

Plastic scales

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2025
Technique: Fine Art print
Dimensions: 40x60cm

   In this intense abstract work, the artist explores the contrast between the natural beauty of the marine world and the silent threat of invading plastic. 

  Shades of deep blue and turquoise evoke the oceanic environment, populated by fluid forms reminiscent of fish, algae, and currents. However, the harmony is disrupted by irregular, sharp fragments, visual metaphors for submerged plastic waste.

Invisible Wrappings

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2025
Technique: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm with mat (passepartout)

The artist delicately yet tensely explores the thin boundary between marine life and the silent threat of plastic pollution.

The composition is dominated by cool, transparent tones such as blue, light blue, and turquoise, evoking an ocean floor immersed in a seemingly calm stillness. The light, fragmented shapes suggest submerged presences: fish, currents, perhaps debris.

This work invites the viewer to look beyond the surface, to recognize what contaminates while remaining invisible—what harms without making a sound.

Stained Reflections

Series: Plastic Free
Year: 2025
Technique: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 43 x 33 cm

Leaving behind the cool tones of the deep sea, this piece shifts focus to the water's surface where light encounters decay.

Warm, vibrant hues of yellow and orange merge with blue brushstrokes, creating a seemingly radiant interplay subtly charged with hidden tension.
