This work, titled Island, represents an imaginative and symbolic landscape, where an island emerges amidst an agitated sea, seemingly captured during or shortly after a storm. The artist adds a unique perspective, as if the island were being observed through the window of a moving train. At the bottom, a sense of speed is perceived, evoking the impression of a landscape rushing past during a journey.

The island thus becomes an ambiguous symbol: on the one hand, the solitude that the term evokes in the Italian language; on the other, the movement and agitation of the waves, almost as if they are trying to detach it from the calm of the sea. Etymologically, “isola” (island) can evoke both the idea of something “solitary” and the concept of movement, of agitation, like waves that separate, divide, or fragment a particle. It is a representation of the contrast between the sense of isolation and the dynamic force of the natural world.

The light filtering through the clouds, with a ray of sunshine illuminating the landscape, suggests hope emerging from the storm—a moment of peace following chaos. The soft colors and gentle brushstrokes create an atmosphere that invites reflection, conveying a sense of calm despite the subject’s dynamism.

“Island” is a work that speaks of contrasts: between solitude and connection, movement and stillness, storm and calm. It is a visual meditation on the nature of the island as both a physical and metaphorical space—a place of separation but also of rebirth and discovery.
