Desc. : Framework’s draft was born in February 2007 during a stay in a rainy Bruxelles. A light drizzle fell gently from a sky often cloudy ,dried from a pleasant strong wind that kept the air fresh and clean from smog and bacteria. Once, in a square ,strong wind gusts invested me. I couldn’t not even move. Ninety kg of trained muscles won by a wind’s breath. Unless I was there , Bruxelles appeared to me as a ship in the middle of a storm and its inhabitants, with their raincoats ,busy sailors. The canvas and first colors were purchased in the old town.When I went back Italy the picture remained there for an year, designed and partly painted in my brother's flat. The embodiment (not definitive) took place in September 2009.The framework parted ,in Milan, in the collective pictorial "Colori in libertà" in the gallery New Ars Italica to remain unchanged, then, within its frame, for another year. Other changes began in October 2010,they ended with the version of 10/12/2010: a small country sleepless village ,on the right ,at the top of the cliff, was sketched, bronze cannons were added to the vessel, sails’ color and thickness changed; sails’ tears were accentuated ;a siren figurehead was added at the bow, more rigging was untied and let loose in the wind, windows at the stern changed ( frames with two lights were added), lamps on the stern became three and had metallic structure ,the keel originally brown and fairly uniform was made irregular and with the use of mica and pearlescent ,it became colored and full of recesses; a wave-shaped overlooking was painted above the windows ; rocks were highlighted with a hint of light and by using sand; reflux on the rocks and the waves were made more full-bodied as well as the splashing water on the keel and waves dashed on the cliffs. With the exception of sand in rocks and a thin wire used for the rigging, the vessel and the branch of lightning, all forms have been created exclusively by repeated deposition of acrylic color.
